BUG:cann''t check the GMail pop3 mail!!! by stevenfish on 06-11-2005 at 10:34 AM

Messenger Plus can't check the gmail pop3

I set
mail address:??????@gmail.com (?????? is my mail name)
server:pop.gmail.com

and I'm sure the account and password is right

because gmail need SSL connect,so I set the SSL check box true,and the port changed to 995

I pressed the test button,but it showed me an error message about can't connect the server?!

Is something wrong in my setting?
Any other one can use the MsgPlus to check gmail?

Have you changed the pop settings in the gmail.com settings area, www.gmail.com.

Press "Settings", then press "Forwarding and POP" and change the "POP downloading" area accordingly.

try it without the @gmail.com

if that doesnt work log into gmail in your browser and go to "Settings > Forwarding and POP" and make sure POP is enabled

i thought that although you could do it it doesnt work properly becuase it always tells you about emails you have had

Crosschecked it with how i have it set up, looks alright to me. I think you forgot to enable pop3 in your gmail account as Traxor already said:

Also read MsgPlus! 3.5 Pop3 Gmail Limitations.

I have try other mail box,all ok
but other mail box is not support SSL.I think MsgPlus may be got something wrong in SSL mode???

thats my setup and it works fine

RE: BUG:cann''t check the GMail pop3 mail!!! by Sunshine on 06-11-2005 at 02:30 PM

I have it set up exactly the same, only difference is i don't download it to Outlook and it works fine.

One last thing i can think of that might cause this: did you tell Gmail to keep a copy in the inbox (see pic in my previous post under "forwarding")? If you let Gmail remove it after forwarding then yeah..ofcourse plus! can't read it..there's no mail on the server anymore.

I have reset as what you are mentions, and login to the gmail reset "enable pop3 service", remain the sam error.

"unable to connect to server"

:(

You might have forgot to put gmail.com at the end of your username.

You're not alone. I am experiencing the exact same problem. I've read the whole thread and tried all different possible configurations but to no avail.

Check ur password and username, you'd be surprised how many errors are made from a typo

Do you run a firewall? if so, make sure that you allow Messenger Plus! access to the internet on port 995.
