The problem with downloading anything through email, is that WinAutomation does not have a POP3 action. There are rumors that it will be added in the next release, but for the time being there is no explicit way to read the contents of an email by using only WinAutomation.
However, you may use a command line tool to retrieve the emails and parse them for the link. A very popular command line tool for POP3 can be found here but as far as I remember it does not support secure connections (hence it cannot be used for gmail accounts).

hi, Im using the following jobs to check my gmail for a particular email. When it fails it should run the close gmail process, it runs but it doesnt close, If I manually trigger the close gmail it works fine.
Any ideas ?

First of all, there is no need to focus the window before closing it. Also, I'm not exactly sure if the title is correct but if I were you, I would use more wildcards in the "Window Title" field.
If you want a solution that will work in every case, no matter what, you can do something more "radical" (see the job that I attached for more information).
