Remote publishing setup

I am trying to get the remote publishing setup for Easyblog. I unfortunately have 1and1 hosting so do not have "cpanel" as such. In order to set up the cron job, I followed their instructions and the attached image is the crontab file that is now saved on my account. I searched around on the forum to come to that setup. if it needs to be changed, please let me know what change I should make. I was able to set up a test cron which functioned correctly, so unless I have that command line wrong, it should be set up.

The issue is that I set up a Gmail account as my address for several folks to send email to for posting. I set up the gmail for imap as shown in the second attachment, and then set up Easyblog as in the third attachment.

When I run the "test settings" button, I get Connection failed to gmail-imap.l.google.com,993: Connection timed out as an error message.

Any ideas? I set up an administrator account and the log in is below. Thank you.
