If you are running fetchmail as a normal user, try this:

fetchmail --quit
fetchmail --verbose --nodetach

Look at the output.  Stop it with control-C.  Fix any error, restart with the
second command.  Repeat as necessary.  When it is running properly,
"fetchmail" to start it running in the background again.

If running in multi-drop mode as the root user, someone else will have to help
you.
