This is fixed in 6.3.18 (note that 6.3.19 is the current bug-fix release):
...
* Fetchmail will now apply timeouts to the authentication stage.
This stage encompasses STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3.
Reported missing by Thomas Jarosch.
Please upgrade to 6.3.19. Note I will not provide a broken-out patch.
Distributors are requested to upgrade to 6.3.19 - much effort was spent
to make this a drop-in replacement for all earlier 6.3.X and 6.2.X
upgrades.
** Changed in: fetchmail (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
