My only idea is the @ symbol in the username is causing a problem.
You could have checked this with "fetchmail -N -v mail.idws.com", but
from my observation a @ is left alone. In general, you can surrounded
critical string with quotation marks " or escape critical characters
with backslashes \.
And it's most likely that your provider supports substitions for the @
(e.g. %, !, &). If he would not, his customers using (at least older
versions of) Netscape Communicator would get no mail (it strips @ after
the username).
