As outlined before while it might be the case that it is failing
silently for you this renders all help in vain as everybody is down to
guessing out of the blue now.
I quickly checked a sample fetchmail in comparison:
1. I have created a fake /etc/fetchmailrc as:
set daemon 300 # Pool every 5 minutes
set syslog # log through syslog facility
set postmaster root
set no bouncemail
##########################################################################
# Hosts to pool
##########################################################################
# Defaults ===============================================================
# Set antispam to -1, since it is far safer to use that together with
# no bouncemail
defaults:
timeout 300
antispam -1
batchlimit 100
poll pop.ubuntu.com protocol POP3 user "f...@ubuntu.com" there with
password "secret" is foobar here
2. with that minimum I restarted the service and get it working (correctly
matching the silly config I gave it)
systemctl restart fetchmail
root@xenial-test:~# systemctl status fetchmail.service

Now could you share your config file (sans passwords please).
Then if you restart fetchmail what does a "systemctl status fetchmail.service"
give you afterwards (Full output please).
