Unfortunately fetchmail is not ported to Windows. (I've also tried
several times gmail/pop with gnus but with no success.)

If you're willing to go this route, the Cygwin tools do include a full
version of fetchmail. I've been using it to fetch pop mail from my ISP
for several years.

http://cygwin.com/

In fact, if you're interested in getting gMail through the fetchmail
program, this site might also be of interest.

I am content with MinGW and want to avoid cygwin but just a couple of
days ago I tried w3m with cygwin because this is the only alternative on
windows. w3m installation wasn't success at the first attempt and this
added up to avoiding the cygwin route.

I hope someone will eventually break running gnus with gmail pop (I
do not know lisp).
