This message ("connection refused") means that either
a) there is nothing listening on that port
or
b) there is a firewall DENYing the connection from your machine
most likely it is (a).

mail2.quiknet.com (80419 octets).
It sees the messages. Any info after this? Run in verbose mode
("-v -v" ) as someone else suggested. This will tell you exactly what
the exchange between the ISP and fetchmail, and fetchmail and the
local MDA is.
