how to use fetchmail ????

when I use :
fetchmail -u root localhost.localdomain
It told me :
Enter password for lost33@localhost.localdomain:
IMAP connection to localhost.localdomain failed: connection refused
POP3 connection to localhost.localdomain failed: connection refused

what should I do to fetch local mail , and how to fetch mail from hotmail.com (or other domain )

here's my fetchmailrc edited to protect the innocent ;)

set syslog
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set daemon 60
poll mail.myisp.net with proto pop3:
user "user" there has password "password"
is linuxuser here and wants mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f -"
preconnect "mailfilter --mailfilterrc=/home/linuxuser/.mailfilterrc"
