On this server?  If so it points directly to a username/password
mismatch between the server and fetchmail.

The errors provided by fetchmail suggest you're either requiring
SSL/TLS for logins or you've got an error in the username or password
in the fetchmail config.

I'd advise you increase the logging level on the server and retry.
