Pop3 for GMail (http://jaybe.org/pgtgm/)

Gmail POP3 converter. 0.9

PGtGM sits between you GMail account and your email client, converting messages from the web based mailbox into POP3 messages that a program such as Outlook Express or Firebird can understand.

POP3 server now fully works. You are able to download gmail emails through any email client. SMTP server appears to work.

Please post any bugs you find in the login process to the thread, or problems displaying messages.

I don't use it and never will because I do not want my email online forever and if Google changes their posture and sales or otherwise provides the list of accounts to a third party my email would no longer be private. GWIM ;)
