Possibly you're running exim in queue-only mode, and have not
started a daemon exim to run the queues? Look at the
chapter on commandline options, and how you have your fetchmail
set up.
For the daemon (needed whether or not you run queue-only mode)
use something like "-bd -q30m". Run that once, from your system
startup.

You need a router chain which identifies "your" mail, with one
router that specifies the transport to use for "your" mail.
For delivery to file, use an "appendfile" transport.

Generic term covering plonking it in a file (your case),
sending it to some other system (eg. outbound mail to somewhere
on the internet), and variants of those.
