[bug-mailutils] accessing gmail pop3 and smtp account

Hi, I am trying to access mail on a gmail account, but I have been having problems.

I suspect the problem I am having is due to gmail using SSL.

Below are the configurations needed to be able to access a gmail account.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
                                                                                        Use Authentication: Yes
                                                                                        Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
                                                                                        Port: 465 or 587

What is the best way to programatically implement accessing gmail via pop3 and smtp ?

Thanks in advance.
