I tried to post a patch for this late September, but the moderator never
approved :(
So the patch is attached (valid against 6.0.0 and 6.10).
The issue is that the capability LOGINDISABLE tells fetchmail to not attempt
login...
My patch adds an option nologindisable which tells fetchmail to ignore
that capability for the server.
