Syslog is an option we've always had,
I have also received and merged a contribution from Holger Hoffstätte to
add timestamps to the log.

I have merged it onto the legacy_6x branch in Git, it's been part of the
6.5.0-beta1 preview release (snapshot) in July 2020, see its NEWS file.

* fetchmail, with --logfile, now logs time stamps into the file, in
localtime
  and in the format "Jun 20 23:45:01 fetchmail: ". It will be localized
through
  the environment variables LC_TIME (or LC_ALL) and TZ.
