Look like it never talks to the POP server.  Can you drop the "port
995" and "sslcertck" options from your fetchmailrc and see what you
get.

Also, what's the first line from "fetchmail -V"?

I'll stick my neck out and say that it's likely a local config or
compilation error.  I had zero trouble getting fetchmail to pull my
mail from GMail with the following fetchmailrc:

poll pop.gmail.com
        proto pop3
        username "ME<AT>gmail.com"
        password "PASS"
        ssl

Note that according to the GMail help you are required to specify the
domain in the username.
