Contacted Hostgator...
They basically said it wasn't the server that was blacklisted, but Gmail's IMAP server? And I changed my MX records to my own domain so that there wouldn't be a possible conflict while logging in... but so far I still can't login from my computer. I wish I could get a better log of what's happening, instead of just "Connection time out".

as expected
if you are having timeouts while connect it is mostly not the client software
so his main work should now be find out what is ging wrong on his machine, stop the outgoing spam and check the MTA configuration - blacklisting on 3 RBLs sounds like some sort of open relay which must not happen and can easily be prevented in the initial setup with some testing
Agree. Charles, try to find the reason for the blacklisting, solve the issues, de-list and test again.
maybe there are more than 3 lists look with this tool: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/
Yes, I used http://www.blacklistalert.org/, makes more or less the same.

Without telling the public IP of Charles, his IP is indeed blacklisted on:
