I was a devoted fetchmail user until it deleted a message I needed. If it decides the headers of a message are wrong, it will happily go and delete it. I'm talking about version 6.2.5. The justification is that such mail is probably spam. (It only deleted that one message in about three years of use. In my book, that is a message too much). I switched to getmail and never looked back. Getmail is a python script, so it requires you to install python (it's trivially easy). Getmail 3 is very easy to configure; let me know if you want to take a look at my config. Getmail 4 is more powerful and uses a different configuration format. Its main advantage IMO is support for IMAPS and POPS if you need such a thing.
