pop3-ssl

I want to use openssl s_client for accessing Gmail POP3S server. I am doing the following:

$ openssl s_client -connect pop.gmail.com:995
+OK Gpop ready for requests from <removed: ip> d11pf35377217wam.36
USER <removed: [email protected]>
+OK send PASS
PASS <removed: password>
+OK Welcome.
LIST
+OK 1 messages (2197 bytes)
1 2197
.
STAT
+OK 1 2197
RETR 1
RENEGOTIATING

The problem is I am never able to execute the RETR command. It always hangs while "RENEGOTIATING".

What am I missing?
