I have recently come across a failure mode with POP3, and that is if servers still provide the "LAST" command. If fetchmail uses that, mail can be lost because the server will log the retrieval attempt no matter if it's successful. The workaround is to use --uidl on the command line, or add "uidl" as server option, as in "poll server.example.org proto pop3 uidl user foo password bar is baz here ssl sslcertck". fetchmail 7 will no longer support "LAST" because it's been obsolete for way more than a decade and exhibits this nasty "you cannot retry" behaviour.
