Sometimes your ISP's Mail Server may have a misconfiguration and your fetchmail can get this error:

the ISP mail server, during tha authentication phase, shows as available for fetchmail a secure connection (even if this connection is NOT available as a secure one for that user); fetchmail then tries to authenticate with TLS and the connection is refused; the solution is to force fetchmail to avoid using secure protocols (command line switch --sslproto ' ' )
Copy the file:
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/fetchmail/90fetchmail
in:
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/fetchmail/90fetchmail
Then, with your favourite editor, open 90fetchmail and find the following lines:
# FetchMails service configuration
$ServOpt = ' timeout ' . ( $FM->prop('timeout') || 60 ) . $ServOpt;
my $ssl = ;
if ( $mtype =~ s/^S// ) { $ssl = 'options ssl' }
my $mdbg='-d0 --silent --syslog';
if($Debug eq "YES") { $mdbg='-d0 --verbose --syslog'; }
my $staticvalue = "/usr/bin/fetchmail $mdbg --fetchmailrc - <<EOF\n" ;
$staticvalue .= "set postmaster \"postmaster\@$dom\"\n" ;
$staticvalue .= "set bouncemail\nset properties \"\"\n" ;
you must modify the following line:
my $staticvalue = "/usr/bin/fetchmail $mdbg --sslproto ' ' --fetchmailrc - <<EOF\n" ;
adding the --sslproto ' ' switch (this is like saying sslproto none).
Complete with:
expand-template /etc/fetchmail
