Please move your .fetchmailrc to fetchmailrc and just don't fetch any mail for 5 minutes or so then move back fetchmailrc to .fetchmailrc and type fetchmail at the prompt.. check the log by tial -f /var/log/fetchmail.log it will work or if it doesn't leave for 10mns or so n then try to fetch. reason being that if one is trying to fetch mails from a outside server the outside server only accepts one request at one time but ur fetchamil process is generating its POP3 request within 3-5 minutes (let server finishes the earlier request made by your fetchamil process) .. see it it will def. gonna work
