I do not think you can using gnus as pop retrieval will have "deleted"
them from the INBOX. I put deleted in quotes because gmail doesn't
quite follow the normal procedure. So it is likely that the emails are
still there in gmail but without the "inbox" tag. You will need to go
into gmail through the web, say, and tag all those emails that you want
so that they are in the inbox.
Alternatively, you could access your gmail using imap instead of pop in
which case you should be able to download emails from any of the
"groups" in gmail.
