Wonder where the "+OK" is that should be here ?

Not sure, but seems as if server is not liking password.

Fetchmail calls it an "Authorization failure". Looking at fetchmail
source file:
<fetchmail/source>/driver.c around line 1600
seems to indicate failure of password authenticate. My version
of fetchmail is 5.2.0.
Just a guess - if your password has not become invalid for some
reason perhaps the server has switched authentication protocols?

Have you tried to telnet to the server ? :
telnet free.polbox.pl 110
and enter:
user yourusername
pass yourpass
and see if you get anything helpful.
Not much help - sorry.
