Hi!
I tried every single example configuration for gmail/pop I could find
on the net. Nothing worked.
This is really frustrating. A few weeks ago, Guillermo Antonio Amaral
Bastidas posted his Setup here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/49012/match=gnus+gmail+pop

He got no answer. I've got exactly the same situation here.
Debian Testing, GNU Emacs 22.2.1, Gnus v5.11
Any new Information on this one?

Well it is not imap, but another solution you might not want:
You can always use fetchmail to fetch your mail from google, and then
read it with gnus. Of course you have to activate pop through googles
web interface first.
I use the following .fetchmailrc
(set your values for USERNAME XYZ LOCAL-LOGIN-NAME)
poll pop.googlemail.com with protocol pop3 port 995
user USERNAME pass XYZ is LOCAL-LOGIN-NAME here
options ssl keep

Okay, I was just basically interested whether this problem was solved
or not.
I switched to fetchmail. It works! ;)
I use this setup (found on the web):
(setq mail-sources
`((file :path "/var/spool/mail/username")
(pop :server "justoneofmy.mailservers.org"
:user "username"
:password "password"
:program "fetchmail -v --all");; -m '/usr/bin/formail -b>>/var/spool/
mail/username'")
))
I need no chronjob or fetchmails daemon, but can fetch all my accounts
(in my .fetchmailrc, gmail is just one of it)
as usuall pressing g. The data provided (:user :password :server) are
set, but not used at all.
So, basic problem not solved, but workaround works. Great!
Thanks for your suggestion!
(Damn google-groups won't let me change headline to [solved])

Unfortunately fetchmail is not ported to Windows. (I've also tried
several times gmail/pop with gnus but with no success.)

If you're willing to go this route, the Cygwin tools do include a full
version of fetchmail. I've been using it to fetch pop mail from my ISP
for several years.

In fact, if you're interested in getting gMail through the fetchmail
program, this site might also be of interest.

I am content with MinGW and want to avoid cygwin but just a couple of
days ago I tried w3m with cygwin because this is the only alternative on
windows. w3m installation wasn't success at the first attempt and this
added up to avoiding the cygwin route.
I hope someone will eventually break running gnus with gmail pop (I
do not know lisp).
