I didn't try to do but theoreticaly, yes you can. You can recieve your
messages via a script and after that you can configure your e-mail client to
show them..

Check these:

free software is a matter of liberty,

you should think of "free speech",

GMail is a web based system so you just need a web browser that GMail likes. I
have found it works happily with Firefox but complains about Konqueror. As it
works with Firefox it will also work with Mozilla.

So the answer is YES, use Firefox.

I've seen some apps out on the web that will put a POP interface in
front of gmail. I don't know if any of them work as I've never tried
it, but in theory if you can set one of those up then you could treat
gmail as any other pop account and use thunderbird to view it. But I
haven't had any problems with the gmail web interface, which works
fine in Firefox.

Yes:

http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/
http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/viewplugin.php?plugin=gmail.lua

as long as several other plugins for other webmail servers:
http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/viewplugins.php

Don't know if it is in the portage tree, though

Thanks, just what i was looking for, by the way... it is in portage:
net-mail/freepops
It's masked.

Thanks for the good advice, now i have something to attend to, i like
thunderbird as a mail-client and sorry for the confusing topic

Actually i asked for a service, so i could access my gmail through a
ordinary mail-program thorugh POP3... not through my browser.
