I have tested it here, and APOP works fine. Is it possible that you have
used your normal password for the user when using APOP? From the fetchmail
FAQ:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can register a secret on the host (using popauth(8) or some
program like it). Specify the secret as your password in your
.fetchmailrc; it will be used to encrypt the current challenge, and the
encrypted form will be sent back the the server for verification.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you haven't used such a tool to create a secret password please try
popauth from the qpopper package and report if it works correct now. Then
I can close this bug with the next upload.


Regards/Gruesse, Norbert
