The 'keep' option in .fetchmailrc keeps your mail on the server.  The
above message means that since you have already read the mail it will not
be downloaded again or deleted from the server.  Adjust your configuration
to suit you.

That error means one of your folder entries does not match the foldernames
on the server.  You can get more information by killing any fetchmail
deamon(s) running and run it with verbose output:
$ killall fetchmail
$ fetchmail -v

And of course:
$ man fetchmail
$ man fetchmailrc
are good reading.

Have fun,
