Magic Mail Monitor as Gmail checker

[spoon2001]

Been using MMM for a long time as my POP3 checker.

This page gives instructions on how to use STunnel with MMM, enabling MMM to
check Gmail accounts.

I may do this, or I may switch to another POP3 checker that can check Gmail
without any workarounds.

I can report that the method described in the above link worked like a
charm. I can check a GMail account just like any other account.

Here are the instructions:

1.- Go to:
http://www.stunnel.org/download/binaries.html

2.- Download the latest version (stunnel-4.11.exe
when I'm writing this). Put it any folder you choose.

3.- From the same page, download openssl.zip

4.- Uncompress the zip contents (3 files) in the same folder where you've
put stunnel

5.- Create a stunnel.conf file with notepad (see example below) and save it
in the same folder

6.- Start stunnel

7.- Start MMM and config localhost (127.0.0.1) in the server field

You're done!
