Can you show us your ~/.fetchmailrc or if aplicale /etc/fetchmailrc and
please hide your passwords in it... Serieus helpers do not need them.
How do you deliver the messages? procmail? maildrop?
Fetchmail can not lost messages, except if you configure it to do so,
but this is only, if you use SMTP transport and fetchmail deliver to a
MTA and the MTA consider the message as spam and you have configured
set no bouncemail
antispam ...
