I use fetchmail to access numerous accounts, including some 'gmail' ones also.
My configuration for accessing 'gmail' is slightly different though.

# Configuration created Sun Jul 30 19:38:15 2006 by fetchmailconf 1.52 $Revision: 4740 $
set logfile "/usr/home/ges/logs/fetchmail.log"
set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 900
poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 and options uidl
    localdomains seibercom.net

 user 'ger...@gm...' there with password 'secret' is
'gerard-gmail' here options fetchall forcecr pass8bits ssl mimedecode


The only real difference is that I do not give it a specific port number.
Have you tried removing it and seeing what transpires? Just a suggestion.
