Configuring Hamster to receive gmail

I've been unable to configure Hamster to receive Gmail via POP: every
time I try to fetch it I get the error message

2008/01/29 17:08:18 ERR {b4c} Exception[ESocketError] Windows socket
error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond (10060), on API
'connect'


I followed the settings at Gmail's help site
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287>, but am
having trouble with one of the steps:

Gmail requires port 995, and the only way I can find to set that is to
edit the ini file manually to add the line

SSLPort=995

However, *every* time I click "OK" on the dialog under Config, the line

SSLMode=1

gets changed to SSLMode=0.

Any idea what to do? For the record, here's the entire ini file:

<snip>

[Setup]
Disabled=0
Remote.Timeout.Connect=
Remote.Timeout.Command=
[POP3]
LocalUser=admin
FilterSection=*
LeaveOnServer=?
ForcedAuthMech=none
SSLMode=1
SSLPort=995
SSLVerifyLevel=0
SSLCaFile=
[Statistic]
Connections.failed=5
LastConnect.failed=2008-01-29 17:08:18
LastConnect.Count.failed=5
LastConnect.Count.ok=0

</snip>

I can manually set up Foxmail per the instructions at
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=32230>, but not
Hamster.

There is some useful information about using SSL here:

That is, I think it may be useful, as I have no experience with SSL
whatsoever. ;-)
