Your error message tells me that you have your account set to use POP3
servers, instead of IMAP.

IMAP clients aren't always designed to handle the huge amount of mail that
users store in Gmail. If you have thousands of messages in your folders,
recommend doing some housework to clean up your folders in the web
interface. https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service
Remember, the web interface shows counts of threads, not messages.

If still having problems?

Have you tried setting the account up as a POP3 type:
