It works on XAMPP but not on the host that serves my website (linux server). I do not see any error messages and the script just times out.

    Can you reach that host/port using other means from the server? Even though you can’t do the SSL stuff by hand, you could try telnet (telnet imap.gmail.com 993) from the command line and see if that gets a connection. Possibly your server’s firewalled off somehow.
