Is it possible to have fetchmail not mark a retrieved message as being

Depends on your configuration settings, and possibly your POP server.....
What does your .fetchmailrc look like? (fetchmail -V is a good way to
report this.)
Heres the fetchmailrc:
poll 10.9.1.21 protocol pop3 username XXXX password XXXXX smtpname
dlt(_at_)wherever(_dot_)com keep set logfile /home/dlt/fetchmail.log
Telnetting to the pop3 port on the voice mail server gives me this version
string:
POP3 Server (Version R6.0-6.39.0,04 January 1999)
Fetchmail -V reports:
dlt(_at_)dv2:~$ fetchmail -V
This is fetchmail release 6.2.5+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS
Fallback MDA: (none)
Linux dv2 2.4.25 #2 Thu Feb 19 17:07:04 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Taking options from command line and /home/dlt/.fetchmailrc
Logfile is /home/dlt/fetchmail.log
Idfile is /home/dlt/.fetchids
Fetchmail will show progress dots even in logfiles.
Fetchmail will forward misaddressed multidrop messages to dlt.

The fetchmail is from a debian unstable package.
I have a voice mail system where I use fetchmail to pop3 voice
mail messages from the voice mail server into users email accounts. Even
if I use 'keep' option, the voice mail ends up in a 'heard' section of
the voice mail system as opposed to keeping it as newly received voice
mail.
Are you using the fetchall option? If so, try getting rid of it. If not,
try adding "no fetchall".
No, I am not using fetchall.
Running fetchmail with the -v -v option may be useful for us to see exactly
which POP commands it's using.
Heres the output of fetchmail -vvv. Note that one message is 'Read' which
it does not fetch, and one message is 'Unread' which it does fetch.
dlt(_at_)dv2:~$ fetchmail -vvv
