Fetchmail lacks diplomacy skills

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

I am trying to set up fetchmail to extract my email from university to my
home machine.  It seems to start out okay, but falls down along the
way.  Here's what I get:

# fetchmail
Enter password for mark@adam.ist.flinders.edu.au: 
fetchmail: 4 messages (3 seen) for mark at adam.ist.flinders.edu.au.
fetchmail: skipping message 1 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message 2 not flushed
fetchmail: skipping message 3 not flushed
fetchmail: reading message 4 of 4 (2413 bytes)  (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: timeout after 60 seconds.
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from
adam.ist.flinders.edu.au

Any ideas of what is wrong?  Or how I could find out?

My .fetchmailrc is as follows:

set logfile = "/var/log/fetchmail"
poll adam.ist.flinders.edu.au timeout 60 protocol pop3 user mark

(And by the way, /var/log/fetchmail is empty.)

Thanks for your help,

Mark.
