Thanks for the feedback, I have added a paragraph to
<http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#I9>.


I also figured that Google seems to have added a few settings so that
people can model Google's behaviour more towards how POP3 and IMAP4rev1
were originally conceived.

That would be in GMail's Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP:

POP Download:
1. Enable POP for *all* mail
2. When messages are accessed with POP: [keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox]

IMAP Access:
* Status: Enable IMAP
* When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted: (*) Auto-Expunge off - Wait
for the client to update the server
* When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible
IMAP folder: (*) Immediately delete the message forever
* Folder Size Limits: (*) Do not limit...
