Hey, I had a little conversation with Jeremy via private mail, and here
is our conclusion:

$ cat ~/.fetchmailrc:
        poll *MAIL.MYMAILSERVER.ORG* with
  proto IMAP
  user *JOHN_DOE*
  there with password *VERYSECRETANDSECUREPASSWORD*
  is *JOHNNY* here
  keep

$ fetchmail -c
3 messages (2 seen) for johndoe_AT_fakegmail.com at +imap.fakegmail.com

$ fetchmail -c|sed 's/(//'|awk '{print $1-$3}'
1
