Answer 1

I just got mine working it seems like there is an other sneaky dependency, as the script depends on aplay from alsa-utils to play a notification sound. After installing alsa-utils, everything worked.
For your problem: I don't really know about the differences between gmail and googlemail, but try to replace ****@gmail.com with ****@googlemail.com. If you are from the UK or Germany, you could be affected by this: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answ … wer=165761
Edit: By your request, my python packages (I'm using testing on my laptop, if that matters):
dbus-python 0.83.1-2
gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.21-1
mlt-python-bindings 0.7.2-1
mutagen 1.20-3
pygobject 2.28.4-1
pygoocanvas 0.14.1-3
pygtk 2.24.0-1
pygtksourceview2 2.10.1-3
python 3.2-2
python2 2.7.1-9
python2-cairo 1.10.0-1
python2-distribute 0.6.16-1
python2-gconf 2.28.1-7
python2-gtkspell 2.25.3-9
python2-httplib2 0.6.0-4
python-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-6
python-imaging 1.1.7-3
python-notify 0.1.1-10
pyxdg 0.19-2
pyxml 0.8.4-8
2. Edit: Looking at the source code, it seems like it tries ssl by default and then falls back to non-ssl in case of failure.
3. Edit: I extracted the code that causes your error into a standalone script. Invoke it with python2 for further investigations.
print "Importing imaplib..."
import imaplib, sys
port = 993
server = "imap.gmail.com"
print "Attempting to connect via SSL to " + server + ":" + str(port) + "..."
try: srv = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(server, port)
except:
print "Connection failed. Falling back to non-SSL"
try: srv = imaplib.IMAP4(server, port)
except:
print "Connection failed. Exiting."
sys.exit()
print "Connection established on " + str(srv) + ".\nClosing now. "
srv.logout()
print "Finished."
