First of all, you didn't mention that KMail was working where fetchmail
wasn't. Why are you concerned about fetchmail if KMail is doing
everything you need done?

Second of all, what's that got to do with it? Whatever problem that
fetchmail (a tiny command-line-only program) isn't working around due to
considerations of size, performance, and standards compliance... What's
to keep KMail from doing so?

If this other program, "getmail," works around it, great! Use that one.
I'd be very interested in hearing if it does. If not, *and you want a
command-line program to do these sorts of things*, then you could always
gank the KMail source and put it into your own fork of fetchmail...
