Perhaps related: is that doing something to prevent multiple copies of getmail
from running simultaneously?  It would be fairly easy for a slow connection to
take longer than 3 minutes to finish checking/downloading mail.  Some servers
do weird things if you have multiple POP/IMAP sessions for the same account
open simultaneously.

That looks like the server hanging.  getmail in theory should be able to time
out the connection; do you have timeout set?  Can you show the (unedited)
output of getmail run with your usual options plus --dump?  What minor version
of Python are you using?
