problems in pine -- can't download messages from gmail
I'm learning a little about pine after downloading it (pine 4.64). I can't seem to get it to work, though. It can't open the inbox -- it sits there (as the little slash mark rotates) but after a while it stops and can't make the connection, with a message saying that "connection to gmail.pop....(something) failed, operation timed out.) It also tried to open the inbox as soon as I opened pine.
I can't send mail either. it says "error sending. connection to gmail.smtp.msa.l.google.com,25 Operation timed out."
I've checked to configuration settings and I think I've got everything correct. Anyone else have these problems? How does one download messages from gmail and what exactly do I enter in the incoming server option

rpload
rpload(1) General Commands Manual rpload(1)
NAME
rpload - pine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Pine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is intended
to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Pine.
Local_file will usually be a user's pine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of
Pine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A copy
of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Pine.
-f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it
carefully.
-s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then
messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not
set no trimming will be done.
-t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
pinerc should be used instead.)
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Pine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One example
is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
