That's the way:



                        ..............................

I downloaded and installed emacs cvs (see:

 http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=8004

);

I downloaded and installed gnus cvs (see:

 
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/tree/browse_frm/thread/09c171f0fc7182a8/adff32b02f135708?hl=en&rnum=11&lnk=nl

);

from
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error 
I downloaded libgpg-error-1.1.tar.gz and installed it the usual way; 

from 
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/ 
I downloaded libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.gz and installed it the usual way; 
 
from 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ 
I downloaded gnutls-1.2.9.tar.bz2 and installed it the usual way; 
 
from 
http://cvs.m17n.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/root/gnus/lisp/pop3.el?only_with_tag=t-gnus-6_17-quimby&rev=1.6.30.21.4.16
I fetched the file pop3.el, put it in '~/' and did:
$ cd ~/gnus/lisp
$ mv pop3.el pop3.el-original
$ cp ~/pop3.el pop3.el
;

I removed `~/tmp/libgpg-error-1.1.tar.gz', `~/tmp/libgpg-error-1.1',
          `~/tmp/libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.gz', `~/tmp/libgcrypt-1.2.2',
          `~/tmp/gnutls-1.2.9.tar.bz2', `~/tmp/gnutls-1.2.9',
          `~/tmp/pop3.el'.
In .gnus.el I put the following stuff:


------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The following line is needed when using pop3.el from T-gnus (m17n.org).
(eval-after-load "mail-source" '(require 'pop3))

(setq user-full-name "Rodolfo Medina")
(setq user-mail-address "rodolfo.medina@gmail.com")

(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
                          :port 995
                          :user "rodolfo.medina"
                          :connection ssl
                          :leave t)))
