Were you install fetchmail as a system-wide fetchmail service?

I do believe so. How do I find out?

I don't know that, but I do so, and have the file:
/etc/init.d/fetchmail	

and I can run:

/etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run

my fetchmail starts properly I tried fetchmail debug-run and it started without a message and created a deamon.
here is the update to the problem on recomendations I did this:
What do you think about the error? I use the same password as on this laptop and works just fine. This laptop unfortunately runs win2000 and Thunderbird :(

From the /usr/share/doc/fetchmail-common/README.Debian.gz:

If the system-wide fetchmail refuses to start, you probably have syntax errors in the /etc/fetchmailrc file. Try /etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run to find out why it is not starting.
