I would absolutely like to live in emacs for email as it offers so many neat tricks. My problem has to do with how to set up pop/imap access while at work. I can use the web interface just fine, but I've never succeeded in using a client trying to access via pop/imap (like Thunderbird) and have simply figured it was due to firewall. Recently, I was finally able to get Thunderbird working since their webmail extension [1] added gmail support. I just succeeded with pop (I'd prefer imap, though, but apparently it's not possible). My question is whether gnus or some other text-based email program that emacs can use has some method of doing whatever this webmail extention is doing. I think it's somehow going through port 80 and getting messages that way, but I could be mistaken. In the past, I've tried "telnet imap.gmail.com993" and "telnet pop.gmail.com 995" and never been able to connect. Anyway, I'm not actually sure where to ask this as it's somewhat of a network question... perhaps I should post to Arch Linux forums, though on the other hand perhaps avid email users here will have been through something like this?
