I enabled pop3 in the gmail settings and followed their guide. I can send messages from outlook, but it wont connect to download my messages. This is the error I receive.


Task 'pop.gmail.com - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'


Anyone know how to fix it?

 

I had a problem with thunderbird and gmail, until i enabled the correct encryption and secure sign in stuff......

Double check you have all of those settings correct.

 

everything seems to be checked, when i run the test settings everything passes except find incoming mail server and log onto incoming mail server

 

go to gmail, click 'settings', then click 'forwarding and pop'

you have to enable pop access, and set specific ports and stuff in outlook. there is a step by step walkthrough in the forwarding/pop section.

 

^^ thanks but i already did that

 

mail servers are pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com

advanced settings should look like this



do you have all this?

 

^^yup

 

i've been having alot of problems with them lately too...

all the sudden the POP gmail access from my PDA just stopped working.

everything appeared to be configured correctly... (the way it was working before)... but i haven't investigated further. figured it was just me

 

i've been having lots of problems with them concerning timeouts

cant donwload pr0n attachments anymore

 

I have your exact problem, word for word. I can't figure it out, it worked fine for a while. then suddenly stopped. working.

 

same problem here....everything is configured correctly, I get this error:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E


I have given up trying to solve this problem...there is a form setup on gmail to discuss problems, but no one seems to know how to solve this.

The original reason I came over to gmail was because hotmail keeps asking me to verify by typing in a stupid string, which they recently started to get rid of automated accounts.

 

i had the same problem...turned out these fuckers changed email servers.

their example might be of help.

 

come on of all people i would have expected you to find a fix

 

I have outgoing port set to 25 and mine works fine.

 

i just got a returned e-mail back to my mother and it said gmail didnt accept the e-mail for the past4 hours and would continue to try to send it until 5 days is up

" Deferred: Connection reset by gsmtp57.google.com.
Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old"
