I have a dial up connection and whenever I run fetchmail (after connection) it gives me the following error.
fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting for server pop.softhome.net. fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR) client/server synchronization error while fetching from pop.softhome.net
problem with softhome. Try telnetting to port 110 and see how long it takes to respond. I've had the same problems with softhome, which is why I never use that account. Really slow server, times out very often.
