Sounds like you're dealing with either a POP2 server, or a rather broken
POP3 server. Eric notes that
Fetchmail will work with any POP, IMAP, or ESMTP/ETRN server that
conforms to the relevant RFCs (and even some outright broken ones
like Microsoft Exchange). This doesn't mean it works equally well
with all, however. POP2 servers, and POP3 servers without LAST,
limit fetchmail's capabilities in various ways described on the
manual page.
What pop3 daemon are you retrieving mail from?
