For some reason when this happens fetchmail will not delete the message after downloading it therefore it just sits there and get downloaded over and over again and prevents othere mail after it from being downloaded. Could this be a) a fetchmail issue
Yes, it is. fetchmail won't download messages "out of order", it won't mark the message on the server as one it has already seen until it has successfully delivered it locally, and any timeout either in the connection to the server or in the local delivery causes the local delivery to be treated as a failure (so the message isn't marked) and the entire fetchmail process to exit (so no later messages get fetched in that session). You're effectively deadlocked until you either fix the timeout problem or delete the offending message from the server by some other access.
