Aidy…

google “ruby pop3 ssl”

You get a page of links.

Click on one of them (the third one looks good). It contains a  
complete write up an example of the ruby code you need to connect to  
gmail’s pop3s service.

This is the page with the example code: [http://tinyurl.com/2s4ct6](http://tinyurl.com/2s4ct6)

Notice the first bullet point states “Download the pop3 library from  
Ruby 1.9…” It even has a link to download it.

Try that out.
