[LRUG] pop3 imap gmail

[Stephen Bartholomew]

If you're using ruby 1.8, you won't be able to connect as gmail  
requires SSL  - ruby's pop library does not support this until 1.9.    
You can get round this though by copying the code from the 1.9 code  
and requiring it as a seperate library.

If have sample code for this which I'll post when I'm back in the  
office. :-)
