Well, there's not much we can do without the fetchmail config, but
gmail-pop.l.google.com is just normal gmail - so assuming you really _do_
have fetchmail set to connect to gmail, you have an authentication problem
there anyway.

Then the pop.secureserver.net could be any server whose mx points to
secureserver.  So its probably whatever you tried to access before gmail.
