configuring rmail in emacs to download pop email from gmail

[rscottfree]

I'm using the emacs 21.4 and rmail to try and fetch my email from my
gmail account using their pop.gmail.com server.  It doesn't work.  I've
set the MAILSERVER and usernames correctly, but I think there is a
problem with the fact that gmail uses ssl.  Has anyone successfully set
up rmail to get gmail?

here are my config lines in my .emacs file:

(defconst user-mail-address "mymail@gmail.com")
(setenv "MAILHOST" "pop.gmail.com")
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list
       '("po:mymail@gmail.com") rmail-pop-password-required t)

Any help?

Thanks
