Checking packages.debian.org confirms this.

This may or may not work, it doesn't seem to have any explicit version
number depends, but I can't gaurantee the packages in testing are named
the same.

There is one in unstable, so if you can wait (unlikely) this may be the
best option.

This will work, but I'd use the tools to build a debian package (sorry,
I don't have the URL for a how-to) so when a higher version comes along,
you get it automatically. (I've never tried this, but it seems like it
should work).

Fetchmail is still available in unstable, so it should hopefully filter
down to testing soon.
