Actually, it seems I was overly hasty in posting that step-by-step
guide, since I've now got it working /without/ the pop3.el from
TGnus. For some reason it just starting working with the default
pop3.el from lib-mail (or is it mail-lib?). It's been working like
that for a couple days now.

I never got any errors like that, but I'm using XEmacs. If you want to
track down the problem, there are some things you could try:

(setq pop3-debug t)
;then try to connect

(load "ssl")
(open-ssl-stream "ssl-process" (get-buffer-create "tls") "pop.gmail.com" 995)
