This is exactly my problem! Seems a lot of us are stuck
with the same issue.

Please if anyone can shed some light on this it would be
much appreciated, and if any of you other guys solve your
problem please post what you did.

Mine seems protocol independant have tried with pop3 and
imap. (My ISP supports both)

Thanks

Rob, 

You are correct in saying that socket errors are
usually network
connection problems.  However, I don't believe this is
the case here.  I
see three threads other than my own that have this
exact same problem.
See threads - ****1 Mail blockig the whole que**** -
****fetchmail
socket error**** -  ****a program like fetchmail**** -
****Fetchmail
hangs - query status=2 (socket)****.

My fetchmail will retrieve 150 emails without a
problem.  It will
retrieve an email with a 10Mb attachment, or more. 
But, when it gets to
certain email, and it is always the same certain
emails from the same
certain people, it stops with a  "query status=2"
error.  The offending
email is always an email sent to a list of people. 
Example, Schwab
alerts, or ZDNet bulk mailings.  If there are 30
emails in the list to
retrieve, and the offending email is number 10, that
is where it stops.
I can log on to the server, delete the offending email
and then run
fetchmail again, and it will download all 29 that are
left with no
hiccups.

Below you will see two sets of results from running
fetchmail verbose,
please let me know if you see any reason that it
should have failed, I
would greatly appreciate it. 

Here is a copy and paste of my verbose run where it
completes correctly:
