options ssl? This could be your problem. I assume you're sure they're using
ssl, but are you sure what port they're running it on. I think fetchmail
defaults to port 995 with pop3 ssl, but could it be they're running on the
default pop3 port?!

the "connection refused" generally means there was no service on the other
end to receive the connection attempt
