So it seems. Here's the relevant section from my .fetchmailrc:
poll mail.earthlink.net protocol POP3:
user reznaeous
password my_password_was_here;
I would guess that somethings just not quite right with yours.
Perhaps a misplaced : or ; somewhere? If that doesn't do it
send me a copy of your .fetchmailrc and I'll see if I can spot
what's wrong.
