-Note that fetchmail currently uses the OpenSSL library, which is
-somewhat under-documented, so failures may occur just because the
-programmers are not aware of OpenSSL's requirement of the day.
-For instance, since v6.3.16, fetchmail calls
-OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), which is necessary to support certificates
-using SHA256 on OpenSSL 0.9.8 -- this information is deeply hidden in
-the documentation and not at all obvious. Please do not hesitate to
-report subtle TLS or SSL failures.

You can access TLS-encrypted services by specifying the options starting
with \-\-ssl, such as \-\-ssl, \-\-sslproto, \-\-sslcertck, and others.
You can also do this using the corresponding user options in the .fetchmailrc
