You can access using pop3. Works for me. I'm sure no expert but unless I'm missing something, POP3 won't modify my gmail repository to reflect changes I would make locally to my downloaded email in gnus. I read email from 2 computers on ordinary days, more when we travel or when I'm in the office. It's necessary for my sanity that my main universally-accessible email repository be up-to-date wrt read/archived/ticked marks, etc. AIUI, this is what would happen with pop3: - 200 messages arrive in my gmail account - I download them to gnus on my linux box - I happily read, delete, tick, archive, move, reply to various messages from my linux box - later I access gmail from my windows box - all 200 messages are still marked unread or all are archived by the pop3 process I ran via gnus - I snap.
