Dont know if this is the right solution for you, however, I have in the
past had problems with fetchmail refusing to fetch a msg from my ISP due to what it deemed to be incorrect headers.
When this occurs, I manually delete it using a telnet session. The port for POP is 110, so the basic flow is something like this.
telnet my.isp.pop-server 110
trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
connected to my.isp.pop-server
escape character is '^]'
+OK
USER myid
+OK
PASS secret
+OK
STAT
+OK 0 0
LIST x <--- where x is the message number
RETR x <--- try to look at the message
DELE x <--- to delete the message
QUIT
