If I followed correctly, you're trying to access gmail at the "traditional" imap port (that's 143). There is nobody there answering the calls. Try imaps (i.e. 993), either through fetchmail's option "-P 993" or "--service imaps". Perhaps you'll have to play with options --ssl (and possibly with --sslproto, although that's improbable). See manpage. And, oh, I agree with the others. Try to avoid Google as your mail provider. HTH -- tomás
