Did you specify the port for the servers? I use gmail without a
problem to access my inbox using IMAP, but it should be more or less
the same for POP. Did you follow the instructions at
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287
Make sure you add the port after the name of the server (i.e.
pop.gmail.com:995 and the login name should be pulyakhina gmail com
not just pulyakhina)
