[fetchmail-devel] fetchmail socket problem

[aalap s. <aal...@gm...>]

hi I am using fetchmail  to fetch mails from gmail account but I am facing 2
problems. The first one is that when i  try to do
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:995 -showcerts
it shows
+OK Gpop ready for requests from 220.224.119.42 c25pf1139902ika
where in when i saw certain configuration pages it shows that i should get
something like
+OK Gpop i16pf3941185wxd ready.
I dont understand what is this

and secondly I tried connecting to pop.gmail.com using fetchmail i got
somekind of socket error no 2, I also created the certificates and edited
the .fetchmailrc file . The error it shows is

fetchmail: 6.3.7 querying pop.gmail.com (protocol POP3) at Thursday 25
October 2007 11:32:29 PM IST: poll started
Trying to connect to 66.249.91.109/995...connected.
