Public bug reported:

Getmail is unable to retrieve messages over POP3 that have lines longer
than 2048 characters. This blocks downloading of further messages even
if they don't hit that limit.

This is fixed in getmail 4.48.0:
http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/CHANGELOG

A workaround is to edit /usr/lib/python2.7/poplib.py and set _MAXLINE to
a large number, retrieve messages, and then set it back to 2048.
