Bingo!
Thanks a lot - this worked.
Strangely, my email server seems to work *some* of time with STSL.
In the 10 test cases I ran, it failed 9 times (authentication error),
but worked once: I wonder if there is a timing issue here?
fetchmail: POP3> STLS
fetchmail: POP3< +OK STLS completed
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on pop(_at_)hostname(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)
fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 hostname ....v2001.78rh server ready
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
and this point the user/pass work, and it downloaded the message.
Only seen this work once, though...

You may need to include the directive:
sslproto ""
in your configuration. I needed this after upgrading to 6.2.2. It seemd if
STLS is advertiesed fetchmail will attempt to use it. If the remote end
isn't configured to use it even though it advertises it fetchmails
authetication will fail at that point.
