You appear to have both gmail pop and imap accounts configured in
claws. The "POP" part of the connection dialogue is for the pop
account, and appears to have worked. 

That is followed by an attempt to connect to your account via imap.
That failed because it is configured to use port 143. Gmail imap uses
port 993 (with SSL enabled). Adjust the configuration of your imap
account in claws and try again. You do need to have imap enabled for
your account in gmail's configuration (under the settings gear).
