Do you have a working example? I tried and tried to get this to work before giving up and opening a stunnel. Whoa, awesome. Do you have a working example?

And the NET/IMAP plugin is working fine with SSL. http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/imap/rdoc/classes/Net/IMAP.html I guess that solution is easier than the one with stunnel :) You can use gmail with IMAP.

I needed to be able to connect to arbitrary POP servers, not just gmail, so I figured out to spawn stunnels on the fly. In case anyone else needs it: http://www.subelsky.com/2008/03/using-stunnel-to-wrap-ruby-network.html This was a great help to me.

Here's the config file I use for the newest version of Stunnel: [gmail] client = yes accept = 42 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 delay = yes I run stunnel as a service which use that file as a config hey this was a big help to me. Here’s the config file I use for the newest version of Stunnel:

[gmail]

Hmm. Time for some help from google. The first page I came across described using stunnel to create an ssl tunnel to route standard net/pop traffic through. This sounded great, except that I couldn’t get stunnel (v4.16) to compile on mac os x, although I didn’t try too hard… The other point of interest in that original article was that the pop3 with ssl support was in development. The next step was to track down some mailing list threads that talked about the ssl support and hope for a patch. We’re in luck, the first patch was actually submitted in March 2004, with the second, accepted and committed, patch coming in April 2004. As per the last message in the second thread, the patch was accepted into core, and is now available in the 1.9 release. So, we don’t even need to patch our existing copy of net/pop, we can just download the newer version. I named this downloaded version as pop_ssl, to avoid confusion, and placed it in my ruby load path.

I'll definitely give Stunnel a try. Excellent, this comes along at a convenient time for me as I just restarted work on a project that uses Net::POP3. I’ll definitely give Stunnel a try.

Ruby is a great language, i enjoy thinking logically instead of typing too many lines to get something on the web (ahem... yeah. dont to web programming in C please, its possible but its just not necessary.) So i can finally get a GMail connection, thats sweet. keep up the posts! Thank you for this, this is handy.
