By default, fetchmail runs once and exits. I haven't a clue where a
"Check Servers" command sits in relation to fetchmail. Exchange
certainly won't trigger a fetchmail polling cycle.
man fetchmail
Look at the daemon mode. Also consider putting fetchmail in cron.
Also look in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail-<version> for some online doc and
FAQ.
