Old Problem: Pop3/ssl/gmail solved?

[Memnon Anon]

Hi!

I tried every single example configuration for gmail/pop I could find
on the net. Nothing worked.
This is really frustrating. A few weeks ago, Guillermo Antonio Amaral
Bastidas posted his Setup here:

He got no answer. I've got exactly the same situation here.
Debian Testing, GNU Emacs 22.2.1, Gnus v5.11

Any new Information on this one?
