Yes, good point about GMail having access to yor emails; Facebook scan
personal messages, I have proved this several times. So yes, good idea
to only use a GMail email address for the 'junk' emails.

I've only looked briefly, but there seems to be a few solutions in
Python, however they all seem to relate to IMAP, not POP.
