Note that gmail *requires* the use of SSL for pop3 and TLS for smtp.
This is unlike many ISPs etc.

I think you need to configure use of SSL here, somehow.

Here you should configure the use of TLS, I guess.

I've only tried using SSL with imap and nntp in Gnus and I always use
a local MTA, so I can't related direct experience with pop3s and
smtp+tls.
