What about:

  Net::POP3.witH_ssl(certs, verify).start(address, port, account, password) do |pop|
    ...
  end

In the case you mentioned:

  pop = Net::POP3.APOP($is_apop)
  pop = pop.witH_ssl(certs, verify) if $use_ssl
  pop.start(address, port, account, password) do |pop|
    ...
  end

It's too late.
