Can you actually get to the mail server without fetchmail? Have you done a telnet check?

The errors show that fetchmail can't connect to the server at gmail.com on the POP port. Have you done your research? Does gmail actually provide POP service on port 110? (hint)

gmail works on spop, look at the gmail instructions for outlook configuration for the correct ports.
