Excerpt from the fetchmail man page:

"The  UIDL code is generally flaky and tends to lose its state on errors 
and line drops (so that old messages are re-seen).  If this happens  to 
you, switch to IMAP4."

No good. The IMAP4 code assumes that fetchmail is the only
client and/or the user doesn't want to fetch mail he's already read.
Pretty bold assertions for IMAP...
