Why can't Gmail be accessed anymore with POP3? It was working for me
until noon yesterday -- now I am receiving:

Unable to send or receive messages for the xxx account. An unknown
error has occurred.

Server: 'pop.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800C0160
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

Are you saying this was somehow disabled recently?
