Naturally Dovecot assumes that they are the same machine but they are not so messages only get downloaded to one of the machines rather than both which is what I want. How do I get Dovecot to recognize them as two individual clients so that mail downloads to both of them?

fetchmail shouldn be your first choice , better use  or verify with getmail

however an idea maybe use one imap over 143 and tls
the other one via imaps 993 hopefully this is uniq enough for dovecot
