I'm curious. I tried this but could not get it work, and concluded that
it was our corporate (Symantec Enterprise Firewall) firewall. Are you
going out to gmail from behind a firewall, and if so, did you have to
enable anything special?
Mine allows all outbound tcp but you would at least have to allow port
995 for pop with ssl. I use my local smtp server for sending for the
account but the MTA can assign the From: address as the gmail account
and does this automatically on replies.
