hi !
suriya06: "See my forum, I'm using pop with port no 995 and smtp with port no 465, but its not working."
not sure what you mean ?
in your first post you wrote
"Server: 'pop.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060"
a bit down you said:"Incoming port number as 995 and outgoing port no as 465."
you seemed a little bit confused, so thatīs why i told you what settings you should use.
the last months i have tried several email-programs, and i have noticed some problems with some of them.
hereīs what i do when a browser/email-client doesnīt work:
i try another browser/email-client with the SAME settings to make sure i have entered all settings correctly.
if i get the same problem with 2 browsers/email-clients then itīs probably a problem with the firewall.
so why not try Thunderbird ?
if everything works, then itīs probably not the firewall...
Hogtowner:
once again, where have you read that ?
i have read through the support-page you linked to, where does it say anything about "connection with a browser" to make POP3 work ?
"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."
really ?
where ?
i canīt find anything...
"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?"
QUE ?
if you read my post again, you can clearly see that it was meant for YOU...
my answer to Suriya is a few lines below...
"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"
thatīs the risk you always take when you post on a forum, you might get an answer...
"...being one of the forum trawlers..."
QUE ???
i saw someone asking for help, and i always try to do my very best to help others when i can.
and WHO is helping ?
who dou YOU help by posting such misleading information ?
"And for doing so in such a snide, condescending tone. You help make this and other sites such a chore to read."
iīm sorry, but i donīt understand what you mean, as english is my second language which i have only read and spoken for about 40 years.
but thatīs usually enough, at least to understand Gmailīs help-pages ....
