Oddly enough, I had exactly that same problem today. I think it's a
Yahoo problem, not a fetchmail one. I fixed it by logging into Yahoo
Mail with a web browser and deleting the first message (which wasn't
anything I needed, fortunately). Then fetchmail got all the remaining
messages without error.
