Adding a gmail account on Messenger Plus! by burton-x on 08-25-2006 at 01:15 PM

Hey,
if I go through preferances > general > E-Mail Accounts
how do I set it up to check a gmail account?
My log in on WLM is Gmail so that would be really useful.
What do I put in on
E-Mail Server: :
to get it to read my gmail?
Thanks

All of wich can be found on your Gmail account..help - http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&topic=1555
Also see MsgPlus! Pop3 Gmail Limitations

Edit: don't forget to enable pop in "forwarding and pop" in Gmail settings.

I have a problem regarding this subject myself; although I've written EXACTLY what's been described, i STILL get an "unable to connect to server", when I'm testing my settings..

I can get this to work perfectly with my IPS -mail -address, but NOT with Gmail! ^o)

I've also tried to disable my FireWall -program, Sygate Personal FireWall (and totally exit the whole program). I also have a router, the NetGear WGT624, and I've tried to forward port 995 to my/this PC.

EDIT: And yes!, I've POP-forwarded my gmail-settings; [Image: gmailpopfu6.th.jpg]

Many thanks in advance!

PS: If you know how to make me enter the gmail -website by pressing the e-mail -logo in the window where your friends and contacts is listet (don't remember the name, sorry), please don't hesitate to tell me; I would really like to know that as well! ;)

And if you want to comment my spelling and grammar mistakes, please bear in mind that English is not my first language..

Right ive done all as said. There is pop ups saying when i have recieved a new e-mail. But the mail button in at the top right of the main WLM window does not work at all. I would expect it to take me to my inbox, it doesnt even have a number next to it representing unread mail...
