What I would like to do is add the capability to fetchmail to simply append
the messages it downloads to a file in unix mailbox format.

I think the best thing in this case would be to use an MDA such as
procmail or maildrop. I doubt this type of functionality would get added
into fetchmail, since there are already other tools that do this just
fine.

In addition I would like to add the ability to download messages starting at
a specific message id. This is necessary in the case when someone would like
to grab messages and store them locally on more than one client. Ideally I
would like a file that would maintain the IMAP state locally for each folder
downloaded with the -r option. 

I'm not really clear on what you are trying to do here.
