in thread how to read the Gmail Inbox using pop3client module?

Consult with your network administrator, use a network analysis tool to see what goes over the wire and what connections are made. Maybe Mail::POP3Client has some hints on debugging?

Also consider the more verbose approach, also listed in the documentation:

... $pop2 = new Mail::POP3Client( HOST => "pop3.otherdo.main" ); $pop2->User( "somebody" ); $pop2->Pass( "doublesecret" ); $pop2->Connect() >= 0 || die $pop2->Message(); ...

That way, you get more information from ->Mesage() maybe.

I strongly recommend you start reading the documentation of the module and follow the practices outlined there.
