It doesn't work because it's not expected to work.  You were trying to use
STARTTLS.  getmail doesn't support STARTTLS; it only does traditional/legacy
IMAP-over-SSL/TLS.

Mick is correct; just leave the port number out of your getmailrc file.
getmail has the correct default built-in; you only need to specify a port if
the IMAP server is running on a non-standard port.
