Wordpress is a really cool tool for running blogs but one of my favorite features (remote posting) was not working correctly with gmail.
This happened because wordpress itself has no support for secure connections. So, after googling for a good while, the solution presented itself in the form of a new script that is capable of handling gmail.
The article where this approach is explained is available here: http://www.mattromaine.com/2005/03/07/wordpress-gmail-mobile-blogging/
Fairly simple approach. Just copy the two files onto the installation folder of wordpress, rename the extension of both files from .phps to .php and you're ready to go.
As mentioned on the instructions, you still need to automate the calling of the wp-gmail.php script but that is the easy part.
As for setting up wordpress itself, don't forget that the pop address is "pop.gmail.com" and that it will use port 995.
Last but not least, the username should be as "example@gmail.com" where "example" is your real username to log inside your gmail account.
That's it, good luck!
