fetchmail not fetching????


Hey all,
I am trying to use fetchmail to get my mail from my gmail account.
I have configure gmail to allow pop3.

my ~/.fetchmailrc reads
Code:
set postmaster "josh"

poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3
  user "user@gmail.com" password "password"
Sendmail is running localy on my machine, and configured i believe correctly.

I run
Code:
$ fetchmail -v
as user josh..

my error message is:
"fetchmail: timeout after 300 seconds waiting to connect to server pop.gmail.com
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop.gmail.com
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.gmail.com (protocol POP3) at .... : poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: normal terminiation, status "

ANY IDEAS???
THANKS SO MUCH,
Josh
