Don't use it as root.  There is no reason to.  Rerun fetchmailconf.
Your conf file should look something like -

# Configuration created Sat Nov 18 15:38:41 2000 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "kent"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll smtp.xxx.net with proto POP3
       user xyf@peoplepc.com there with password xxxxxx is kent here    
kent
