Nope, that's different.  That *could* be trying to connect on a different
port; it's not clear to me from the docs, but that could be trying to connect
on the non-SSL-wrapped standard IMAP port and then do STARTTLS, which is not
how getmail connects.

Please try using getmail with an identical configuration from a computer that
has internet connectivity through a different network than the machine that is
failing to connect.
