Bingo!

Thanks a lot - this worked.

Strangely, my email server seems to work *some* of time with STSL.
In the 10 test cases I ran, it failed 9 times (authentication error),
but worked once: I wonder if there is a timing issue here?

fetchmail: POP3> STLS
fetchmail: POP3< +OK STLS completed
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on pop@hostname....
fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 hostname ....v2001.78rh server ready
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA

and this point the user/pass work, and it downloaded the message.
Only seen this work once, though...
