[Bug 1938719] Re: (feature request) support for non-stdio plugins (like Hydroxide)

I was proposing preconnect, not plugin. -> comment #2. There is also postconnect in fetchmail. You may need to script interfaces with delay and readiness checks. As written before, daemon management is out of fetchmail's scope. Fetchmail is not going to turn into another systemd. Again,
