accessing gmail account via POP3

[Phil Tomson]

Has anyone written any Ruby code for accessing their gmail account that
they would be willing to share?

Here are the requirements according to google:

pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995

It doesn't support SSL, does it? I couldn't find anything about it in
the docs. I tried this about a week or two ago, and was unable to get
it to authenticate me without SSL.

Here are the requirements according to google:

ruby-core#2703 and ruby-core#2745 include patches to add ssl support to
Net:OP3. from the thread, it looks like it was checked in, but maybe
into 1.9 only?

i imagine you could use the patches as a guide and write a small wrapper
class that sets up the SSLSocket to gmail...
