  Not that I ever found.
  My configuration file has these entries as a workaround:

set logfile "/path/to/fetchmail.log"
poll example.com interval 1
  protocol imap username "account_name_of_interest" password "secret"
  preconnect "echo `date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S` <account_name_of_interest> >>
/path/to/fetchmail.log
  ... other stuff ...

  It does result in an entry for every time fetchmail connects to a server to
check for mail even if no mail is available.
