The server name and other settings are wrong. Use the
settings specified by Gmail:

The error message is correct, you have entered the server name incorrectly.
There's no "3" in its name.

Try pop.gmail.com

Also, it's not on Port 110, it's on 995 and SSL should be ON.

You should check and follow the directions at the gmail site. They are
pretty comprehensive.
