I don't know how the Exchange IMAP server works, but certainly some IMAP
servers get very confused if you have two connections - to such an
extent that one I use will refuse a second connection if a user has
another IMAP session already active.   Can you disable your fetchmail to
see if that is a problem.

{And if one of my users was connecting every 10 seconds to check mail,
they would have their username disabled!  Do you really receive new mail
at that rate?}
