It works, but you only get new mail once.

You can, but don't download to a location where you don't have time to 
finish reading it...  You can configure gmail to also 'archive' a copy 
as you download so you can read/respond/delete in your pop mailer and 
only use the web interface if you need to go back and search or access 
something you downloaded to the wrong place.

If one of your own machines permits inbound internet connections the 
nicest approach is to run fetchmail and an imap server on it.  Then you 
have a copy you can access from multiple locations and you can still 
read/respond/delete with gmail keeping an easily searchable archive copy 
for you.
