You don't have sendmail running, listening on port 25. Before running
fetchmail, run /sbin/service sendmail start.

    hsraidce> retained 

An interesting point - I was wondering why message number 1 was
retained. So, I downloaded fetchmail sources, and checked - and found
this comment in driver.c:

        /*
         * The University of Washington IMAP server (the reference
         * implementation of IMAP4 written by Mark Crispin) relies
         * on being able to keep base-UID information in a special
         * message at the head of the mailbox.  This message should
         * neither be deleted nor forwarded.
         */

So - the retained message is the standard FOLDER INTERNAL DATA pseudo
message - fetchmail knows of its existence even when dealing with a
naive POP server. ;-)
