in reply to GMail IMAP SSL and Perl

Did you read the Mail::IMAPClient documentation regarding debugging?

"Sets the debugging flag to either a true or false value. Can be supplied with the "new" method call or separately by calling the Debug object method. Use of this parameter is strongly recommended when debugging scripts and required when reporting bugs."

      So can you ping imap.gmail.com? Have you read Gmail IMAP access, apparently it is a working example.
