I am attempting to connect to a POP3S server through the GMail interface available through "Accounts and Import". The issue is that there does not seem to be an option to specify the type of mechanism within their interface so I think I have to offer PLAIN along with SSL. Has anyone else had any experience of using the GMail import settings?

+1... as long as you only allow encrypted sessions, there is no security 
danger allowing PLAIN...
