As far as I can tell, the pop support for emacs, won't do SSL encrypted transport which gmail requires. This is a pity; it does work for imap for instance. So, I don't think this is going to work for you. You would need to use fetchmail or something similar to get the mail locally, then use emacs to use that. Phil
