I don't know if this is a problem with gmail's POP3 service or the Net::POP3 (and Net::POP3::SSLWrapper) module, or some devilish combination of the two.

I have a gmail account, foo@gmail.com, that has POP3 enabled for all email, and the option for "delete gmail's copy of the email" is set.

And yet, when I run the code below, the message is not deleted. No error message is available (as far as I know). Has anyone had a similar problem with a home-grown gmail POP3 program?

use Net::POP3::SSLWrapper;
use strict;
use warnings;

pop3s {
  my $pop = Net::POP3->new('pop.gmail.com', Port => 995) or die "can't
+ make pop3 connection: $!";
  my $nm = $pop->login('foo@gmail.com', 'password');
  my $msgs = $pop->list;

  while (my ($id, $data) = each %$msgs) {
    print "Message ID: $id\n";
    $pop->delete($id);
  }
};

__END__
Here is actual output:

Any ideas?
