AFAIK, google offers IMAPS. your firewall needs to be opened to allow access 
on tcp port 993. See if thats set. 
Also on Kmail 3.5.x  (using KDE3.5), When setting up the imap account, it 
lists options to show Server side subscribed folders, local subscribed 
folders. By default both of these are not selected and the result is an 
account without at imap folders. Select Serverside subscribed folders and it 
will show the imap folders that are created in gmail.
