Fedora does not ship fetchmailconf.

Btw. a fetchmailrc is really simple to set up. No need for a GUI. An
example as follows:

$ cat /home/username/.fetchmailrc

set postmaster "username"
set properties ""
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set no syslog
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
 
poll mailaccount_yourservice
        proto imap
        via name.of.mail.server
        port 993
        timeout 60
        tracepolls
        user "mail_login_name"
        pass "secret_pass"
        is username at localhost
        ssl
        nokeep
        fetchall

This is an *example* (feeding a local MTA). Customize it to fit your
needs. "man fetchmail" and "fetchmail --help" explain every possible
setting.
