When I receive an email with a single dot in a line fetchmail drops the

server error (should it escape single dots?) or is a fetchmail bug.
Your POP3 server is buggy, and is going against the POP3 protocol RFC. It is
unusable as a production server IMHO.
Try using IMAP, or complaining to your provider that their "professional
POP3 server" fails to properly escape single-dot-EOL lines as the POP3 RFC
mandates, and must be fixed.
If this a server error, then please someone know how to fix this? Is
there a workarround?
There is no workaround other than deleting the offending message from the
server, or fixing the server's bug.
