You can try the following code by giving a notls argument and connecting the server like follows, if SSL is not applied.

$hostname = '{imap.YOUR_DOMAIN.com:143/imap/notls}INBOX'; 
$username = 'YOUR_USERNAME';
$password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';

$inbox = imap_open($hostname, $username, $password) or die('Cannot connect to Gmail: ' . imap_last_error());

If it will not throw any error, this means that you are succesfully connected to server then. I hope this helps.
