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.
