The fetchmail daemon takes almost no memory nor CPU when idling, so
that's a weak argument for most machines (as long as we're not talking
about wireless routers etc.).

I /had/ fetchmail running in daemon mode for something between three to
five years and five to ten POP3 accounts, but I have never experienced
the problems you describe. I do still believe, too, that fetchmail isn't
exactly the flagship of Free Software code quality. I have switched my
own POP accounts to getmail a while ago already and just yesterday I
moved my girlfriend's account to getmail, too.
