Yes. Based on reading a few web sites on this subject - and there are
quite a few out there - I got emacs22 on WinXP working w/ my ISPs
(Verizon, but there is a gmail related link below) POP3 and SMTP
servers.
If you are on Windows you need a separate install (gnutls4win) to help
authenticate the outgoing connection. The file I used is
gnutls-2.5.5.exe on this site http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/.
So what worked for me was:
1. run the installer gnutls-2.5.5
2. configure .emacs as per below (replace ids and passwords)
3. Run M-x RMAIL to retrieve mail (you should be prompted for password)
Here's a site is gmail specific (the use different servers and ports I
believe)
