Somewhat in contrast with

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#D3

"Fetchmail only sends a delete mail request to the server when either (a) it 
gets a positive delivery 
acknowledgment from the SMTP listener, or (b) it gets an error 571 (the 
spam-filter error) from the listener. No 
interrupt can cause it to lose mail"

If your so proud of your FMs, then at least make sure they 
don't mislead users.

Good point,  I'll amend the FAQ accordingly.
