fetchmail expunge error

Hello everyone,

     I have been using fetchmail for many years with no issues, across 
several ISPs.  A few days ago, however one of my users accounts quit 
working.  The issue, actually, was her client.  I had to delete and 
re-add her account in the client.  In the process, her password was 
changed, and then fetchmail could no longer download her mail.  A day 
later, my own account also quit working.  I called the ISP (AT&T) and 
they informed me users could no longer access mail from a client using 
their password. Instead, the user has to create a secure keyword.  I was 
also informed the old server (inbound.att.net) is no longer active. 
Instead, users must download from imap.mail.att.net.  The tech claimed 
POP3 downloads would still work, but I was not able to get fetchmail to 
login to the server with the POP3 protocol.  I would be interested to 
know if anyone is still able to login to the new server using the POP3 
protocol.

     In any case, I can now login using the IMAP protocol, but fetchmail 
can only download a single message at a time, producing a mail expunge 
mismatch error (0 actual != 1 expected) and exiting after each message.  
Eventually, it does manage to get all the messages, but typically only 
after a very long time, whenever several messages come in over a short 
time frame.  While not quite critical, this is definitely not good.

     Is anyone else having this issue with AT&T?  How can I fix it?


fetchmailrc:

set no syslog
set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail.log"
set postmaster "postmaster"
set nobouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 60

poll imap.mail.att.net via imap.mail.att.net
     with proto IMAP service 993

user '[email protected]' there with password 'xxxxxxxxxx' is 'xxxxxxxx' 
here options fetchall forcecr stripcr ssl
  mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T"


user '[email protected]' there with password 'yyyyyyyyyy' is 'yyyyyyyy' 
here options fetchall forcecr stripcr stripcr ssl
  mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T"
