You probably only needed to change the retriever type to *SSL*.  Note that in
general, when asking for help with problems like this, you should include the
contents of your configuration file, to make it possible for others to
actually spot the problem.  In this particular case it wasn't completely
necessary, but with many problems there would be no way to know what the
problem was without it.

Which, of course, has nothing to do with getmail :)
