GMail via POP3
A bit of a round about way of achieving it, but until Google allow POP3 directly, it'll do for me

Re: GMail via POP3
Oh well, I think it's worth a new thread for this anyway... more people will see it.

Re: GMail via POP3
You need the .NET runtimes apparently.

Re: GMail via POP3
Here's something else for Gmail, which acts as a mail notifier (it's not for pop3 access to gmail):
Gmail Agent
Quote:
Gmail Agent API v0.5 / Mail Notifier & Address Importer
By Johnvey Hwang
What is it?
There are two distinct components here: an open source Gmail API written for the .NET framework, and a proof of concept Windows application built on top of that API that provides basic remote Gmail functions.
(snip)
About the Gmail Agent Applet
I'm sure most of you are more interested in the applet, so here are the features:
* Multiple account support
* Balloon notification of new messages with message preview
* Address book view and import (from tab-delimited text files)
The system requirements are:
* Windows 2000, or higher
* Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1
I haven't tried this with Mono ††I doubt it works, but if it does, please let me know. If you are interested in POP access to Gmail, check out Pop Goes the Gmail (also a .NET project).
This is a proof of concept application, and there are plenty of idiosyncrasies. It works great for me, but your results may vary. I welcome anyone who wants to contribute to polishing this app.

Re: GMail via POP3
Just looked at Gmail agent, looks good, seems to work too. Doesn't seem to like the skinning software I'm running  since the text on the buttons is a little out of line but so far so good
GTray works well too, unlike Gmail agent though, it only acts as a notifier. Two variants on a theme to choose from

Re: GMail via POP3
How do you use the POP agent in Thunderbird though?
