I think this bug was fixed in the 5.8.x or 5.9.x versions, retry with
6.2.0 please and report back.

The same problem exists in 6.2.0. That is, the mail is marked read on
the IMAP server even in the case of a local delivery error, and since
fetchall is not turned on (since I'd like to leave mail there until the
next backup) it is missed on the next download cycle.

Then there's a driver bug. fetchmail must not mark a mail it could not
deliver "read". However, I only tested against POP3, so I may have
missed that one at that time.
