I've read it, but it didn't seem to apply.  See below.

In singledrop-mode, fetchmail assumes that all messages in the user's account 
are intended for a single recipient.

As far as I know, this is what I'm doing.  I run fetchmail as anne, and all 
messages are delivered to me.  On separate cron jobs, fetchmail runs as 
david, and all mail is delivered to him.  Isn't that singledrop-mode?

For David's mail - mine doesn't bring the problem\;

set logfile = /home/david/fetchmail.log

poll pop3.mailbox.co.uk with proto pop3
	user "xxxxxx.xxxx"
	pass "xxxx"
	is david -a

poll zencphosting09.zen.co.uk with proto pop3
	user "xx...@ly..."
	pass "xxxxx"
	sslfingerprint "01:A0:29:54:2F:03:DB:AE:79:8D:B8:B9:BB:9A:1F:9A"
	is david -a

poll pop3.tiscali.co.uk with proto pop3
	user "xx...@ti..."
	pass "xxxx"
	is david -a
