This should help. You are probably getting a failure because Gmail uses SSL for its POP3 so just make sure you have POP3 enabled from the options in Gmail and follow these instructions...

Gmail uses a different port # for pop3, there are instructions at Gmail. They will send copys of your mail to another account if that doesn't work for you.

Dude!! PUNCTUATION!!11!1!

My guess is your fetchmail setup is fine. You also have to enable POP retrieval on th GMAIL side to get it to work. I didn't have to make fetchmail use a different port.

Open G-Mail, click on "Settings" (at the top), click on "Forwarding and POP." In the "POP Download:" section, pick the appropriate option ("Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on" is good).

Save changes, and run fetchmail to see what happens. Let us know if it works.
