You have two versions of the maildrop spec here (one with "imap" and one
with "imap-ssl").  The "imap-ssl" version is correct, and the "imap" version
is something else.  If you try to view some other mailbox on the gmail
account, the "imap" version will kick in and probably fail.

Secondly, you should not use vm-spool-files when you are using IMAP
folders.  The spool-files are only needed for local folders.  VM is probably
ignoring this setting, but it is liable to confuse you at some later stage.  

In any case, congratulations on getting it to work!  

All the best.
