What version number of Fetchmail are you using? If it isn't 6.3.26 try
upgrading and then repeat your test. Do you know what version number
of DavMail you are connecting to?

You'll also want to check section G3 of the FAQ
(http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-FAQ.html#G3) for the
information the developer will want.
