Sure, just add a new POP3 account with servers as follows...

Incoming: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing: smtp.gmail.com

I do not have the 'connection specific' box ticked.

In Advanced:
Retrieval tab: Password authentication is 'Normal', Security is 'SSL (POP3S)'
Sending tab: SMTP authentication is 'Login'

Think that's all you need, let me know if you managed to get the emails to stay on the server too!
