it's seconds you're giving as an argument. So that is: "poll every 10
seconds"

As far as I know you can't use options here but only in the next line:
> user 'karthikv' there is 'karthik' here options
a password is missing here.
the syntax is:
poll mail-server protocol POP3
user "karthikv", with password "hidden" is user "karthik" here options\
no dns keep
But I guess you should use "no dns" so that fetchmail won't take it for
to words (not tested).

That says that you have an error in line 6. I guess it's the line
beginning with poll (don't use options here)

I never could make much use of that program. I prefer to handle it via
editor.
