POP email with SSL

[Mark Volkmann]

Can someone point me to an example of reading email from a server
using POP and SSL?

I *think* the ruby gmail library (see rubyforge, if it's up) does this.

I believe that the gmail lib uses net/https for doing its work. I don't
think 1.8.x pop3 lib can do SSL (without you manually setting up the socket=
)
but the pop3 lib from CVS can. If you work at it, you can pull that into
1.8.4 and use it by renaming some things.

I was trying to do a similar thing a while back, and found someone
who'd already had the same problem and solved it for me.
