Hi

man fetchmail says:

 Resource Limit Control Options
       -l <maxbytes>, --limit <maxbytes>
              (Keyword: limit) Takes a maximum octet  size  argu-
              ment.   Messages  larger than this size will not be
              fetched, not be marked seen, and will  be  left  on
              the  server  (in  foreground sessions, the progress
              messages will note that they are "oversized"). 
                ....
