procmail and fetchmail are available in the Arch Linux repositories.
You can enable them by running the command:


pacman -S archlinux-mirrorlist


Then add these four lines to the bottom of your /etc/pacman.conf file:


[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch


And then run the commands:

pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman -Syu
pacman -S procmail fetchmail


Hope this helps,
