for hackerman1,
You may be right. I have only been speaking trhe language for 50 odd years, so it may be a misinterpretation of the following:
Quote:
Getting started with IMAP for Gmail Print What is IMAP? IMAP, or
Internet
Message
Access
Protocol, lets you download messages from Gmail's servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook Express or Apple Mail,
even when you aren't connected to the Internet. From:
Getting started with IMAP for Gmail - Gmail Help
It is a trifle misleading. I admit I should have said "will only work unfailingly," instead of just "will not work." The quote above doesn't really imply that you cannot get mail if you aren't connected to the internet. But it does imply that you might have trouble. If you actually read my post, you will note that I reported having trouble with POP3 intermittantly, depending upon which ISP I was connected to.
BTW, you realize that getting something to work for you in no way disproves or trivializes the problems others may have in getting it to work for them, right?
Finally, hackerman1, thanks for being one of the forum trawlers who relish pointing out the errors in the posts of people who try to help, rather than trying to help the person with the original problem. And for doing so in such a snide, condescending tone. You help make this and other sites such a chore to read.
For suriya06:
Sorry I couldn't be of help. If you have checked the set up, and the firewalls, the problem may not be at your end at all. Have you contacted your ISP? It may be a problem they are familiar with, and for which they have a workaround.
Good luck with it.
