With pop3 you can set "fetchlimit 10" and then fetchmail send a "quit"
command and reconnect to the Server downloading the next 10 Messages.

With IMAP you must not restart the session because you can set
"expunge 1" which menan, after each singel message it send the
delete command.

Add "fetchlimit 10" or something similar.
