Last night I restarted fetchmail and its working again. I hate those 
type of problems.

But this is my rc file:
# Configuration created Tue Oct 24 12:53:28 2006 by fetchmailconf 1.52 
$Revision: 4636 $
set syslog
set postmaster "wadesmart"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 150

# setup first email service provider -> WadeSmart
	poll mail.wadesmart.com
        	uidl
	proto pop3
	auth password
         user "username" there with password "password"
        	nokeep
	no fetchall
	

# setup second email service provider -> Gmail
	poll pop.gmail.com
	uidl
         proto pop3
	port 995
	auth password
	user "wadesmart at gmail.com" there with password "password"
	nokeep
	no fetchall
	ssl sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs


The gmail-pop-l-google.com only shows up when there is a problem, 
otherwise its pop.gmail.com.
