I found some way:

fetchmail -v ... &
PID=$!
wait
...
grep fetchmail /var/log/mail | grep $PID | grep "message.*for .* at .*" \
   | cut -d" " -f6-


I gets the data for the accounts polled in that run, but before the 
actual poll. Ie, it says how may mails are in the folder, not how many 
were actually fetched.
