You can use telnet to get to Gmail, or any SSL connection, just start and use stunnel. More complex, not worth it.

#7: Telnet won’t work with Gmail since it requires encrypted connection, telnet has no support for that.

This method only works on normal POP3 servers and I am pretty sure that it won’t work on Gmail servers.

Actually another way that I forgot to mention is using mail2web.

Hi Raymond!
I tryed this wih my gmail account… but it didn’t run.

T think, the command for gmail is:
telnet pop.google.com 995

Is that wrong?

Thanks for answering

Thats a nice trick… But if youre not a geek, you can try Magic Mail Monitor (http://mmm3.sourceforge.net/).
It’s an opensource tool and its also very hand.
