I had a similar problem some time ago.  fetchmail just stopped with
gmail.  It turns out I had made two failed attempts to log in via pop
(possibly network issue?) after which gmail will refuse all pop logins
for the account untill some thing has been reset...

Sorry, but I can't recall the web page at gmail that you need to go to
for the reset, but I did find it using (you guessed it) google
search...
