Does the following .fetchmailrc sample from the README work any better?

    To install fetchmail for a single user, create a fetchmail run
    control file, ~/.fetchmailrc, with contents like the following:

        set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
        set invisible
        set no bouncemail

        poll "$mailserver"
        protocol $popimap
        username "$username"
        password "$password"
        fetchall 
        nokeep
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

    where:

        $mailserver is your mail server name
        $popimap is "pop3" or "imap", as appropriate
        $username is your mailserver user name
        $password is your mailserver password
