Polling every 10 sec's is rude behaviour towards your
i.s.p. .. Don't do that.

The command:
fetchmail --version
Will show all your options set in your .fetchmailrc and if they are
accepted by fetchmail.. Try it..

A typical ~/.fetchmailrc for dailup-users

poll pop.myisp1.nl
proto POP3
username president
password UsCliNton
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d clinton"
set logfile "/var/log/fetch.log"

Of course every command can given on the command-line as options to
fetchmailrc
