fetchmail cannot connect to the server it should poll (your "mail
domain host"). As you can reach that host via webmail (HTTP, Port 80)
and IMAP, it does not seem to be a network problem. Maybe the POP3
daemon on that host is not running / running very slowly?

How do you poll your mail with fetchmail? Using POP3 or IMAP? If you
have configured fetchmail to fetch your mail via POP3, you should try
if _that_ works (not only webmail and IMAP). The easiest way would be
telnetting to port 110 on your mail domain host and see if you can get
a connection.
