      That is why I installed mutt (mutt.org) and *think* I used the
same settings

set ssl_starttls=yes
set ssl_force_tls=yes
set imap_user = '[email protected]'
set imap_pass = 'super-secret-password'
set from='Mauricio <[email protected]> '
set realname='Mauricio Tavares'
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
set header_cache = "~/.mutt/cache/headers"
set message_cachedir = "~/.mutt/cache/bodies"
set certificate_file = "~/.mutt/certificates"
set move = no
set imap_keepalive = 900

to connect to it When that worked fine from the same machine, I
thought I must be doing something wrong in the getmail side. With that
said, what confused me was I do not know if getmail timed out trying
to reach out or actually connecting to gmail.
