Carles,
Thanks for pointing me to the faq, I have missed that one and it
solved an error but the final result is the same.

Here is the .fetchmailrc which I have now:
poll mail.2edalton.nl
aka falcon.graficom.com localhost
localdomains node11500.a2000.nl localhost:
no dns
user <user> pass <password>
to info=info
fred=fred
rene=rene
pieter=pieter here

Here are the messages from fetchmail:
