Finally, I solved the problem!
I turned off all the logging of xinetd, and the situation resolved. If you
got the same situation, please read the following link :

Besides this, I want to raise the 2nd question :
Is fetchmail capable of deleting old messages older than n days?

My problem is
1. I'm using Redhat 7.0 + imap2000-3 as my email server which uses a
lot
of
time to login the pop3, and each empty account needs about 30 sec to
fetch.
2. I have more than 10 account to fetch, so it totally takes up more
than
15
minutes evenif all the mail boxes are empty.
I'd say you have a DNS issue. I've got Mandrake 7.2 (kernel 2.4.1 and
2.2.18) with the UWash IMAP2000 server. It takes no time at all to
collect
email from 9 mailboxes, certainly under a minute if they're all empty -
even
the remote mailboxes don't take more than 5 seconds if they're empty.
Long pauses during connection initiation usually indicates that the
reverse
DNS lookup (on the server, trying to identify your client) is failing
(ie
your client has no rDNS entry). Get this resolved and you should find
the
problem goes away.
