Hi,
I have been trying to read gmail using the Ruby net/pop class. It doesn't seem to work in Ruby 1.8.6, I haven't tried it on 1.8.7 which is supposedly the current stable release.
I found this on the web that says you can do this using stunnel and 1.8.6. Stunnel looks like a small program:

Any ideas on this ? Can stunel be made to work ? It has to live in /usr/local/bin I think, or should I try net/pop with 1.8.7 on my laptop and let you know if it works ?
