Gmail

Anybody else having trouble getting mail with pop access? I keep getting server timeouts with OE. I can access my account through the web ok though. Same trouble on 2 puters.

I have had no problems with my Gmail so far.

It just started, 2 other posts on google groups about it too.

I dont use mine all the time so for the times I have used it I have had no issues with it. Eventually I will take the time to transpher my yahoo list over to my Gmail just have not taken the time to do that as of yet.

Thanks, I'll go check on my other box

get the following error on 2 XP Pro SP2 2 boxes running OutLook Express. I reset the router and Surfboard cable modem and even let google auto config do it, after checking all the settings I did manually. Timeout I have set to 2 minutes. Must be the server I'm going to I guess. All 4 of my other pop3 accounts work....AAAHHHHHHH

I couldn't get that auto config thing to work to save my life. I have Outlook Express configured myself.

On the server tab I have:

Pop3: pop.gmail.com
smtp: smpt.gmail.com
account: user@gmail.com
Password: *********
Check-marked "Remember Password"
UNcheck "Log on using Secure Password Authentication"
CHECK Outgoing "My Server requires authentication", Settings use same as incomimg.

Advanced Tab:
SMTP: 465
POP3: 995

Checkmark both "Secure Connection (SSL)"
All other checkboxes are unchecked.

Give this a try.

Exactly what I did manually and also what the auto config did but then I changed them back manually to the same thing. Other posts on google groups about trouble with pop3 also.

Thanks
