Retrieve Gmail using Ruby

rubyonrails-talk

I need to retrieve emails from my Gmail account using Ruby on Rails. I'm currently using this piece of code, but it gives me a timeout error everytime.

require 'net/pop'

pop = Net::POP3.new 'mail.isp.com' pop.start 'username@isp.com', 'password'

if pop.mails.empty?    puts "No mail." else    puts "You have #{pop.mails.length} new messages."    puts "Downloading..."

   pop.mails.each_with_index do|m,i|    File.open( "inbox/#{i}", 'w+' ) do|f|    f.write m.pop end

   m.delete end end

This is the error I recieve

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in `new': execution expired (Timeout::Error)     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:206:in `old_open'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:206:in `old_open'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:438:in `do_start'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:432:in `start'     from script/mail.rb:4

Any help will be appreciated!

Have you tried

pop = Net::POP3.new 'pop.gmail.com'
