I've already enabled the pop3 from my account. Regarding the openSSL, I've downloaded Win32openSSL0.9.8i from the net and I've installed it on my laptop. It has many libraries could you please guide me which library I should use and how to use it?
Your assistance is heavily appreciated. Thank you.

To: advanced_delphi@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 6:23 PM I think gmail uses 465 for smtp, and it requires SSL. I do not think the plain SMTP component for Indy includes SSL. You would probably need to install OpenSSL... Also, make sure you enabled the gmail account for POP3 access. It is disabled by default.
