Port 587 is used for sending. I can send mail without a problem. Port 995 is used for receiving.
My settings are: POP3 User account ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or username Incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com Checked "Save password" (password) Checked "Use secure connection (SSL/TLS)" Checked "Use port" 995 Dotted "On a dedicated secure port" I do not have the Mac OS X firewall turned on, and our DSL modem/router just uses NAT as a firewall. I have Gmail set up twice in PowerMail, once with the "@gmail.com" and once without it. Nothing comes in either way. - Winston Matthias Schmidt wrote: >Winston, > >my guess is that either the port 587 is blocked or you entered something >incorrectly. > >This setup from Angelica: > >>>Receiving: >>>POP3 >>>User ID: full email address with @gmail.com >>>Incoming: pop.gmail.com >>>Advanced: check SSL, use port 995 and click on dedicated secure port >>> >>>Sending: >>>SMTP: smtp.gmail.com >>>Authenticate: full email address again >>>Advanced: check SSL, use port 587 and click on Using the STARTTLS command > >works as long as you have POP enabled in your gmail account. > >I never tried IMAP. > >all the best >Matthias > >Am/On Wed, 9 Jul 2008 00:03:15 -0400 schrieb/wrote Winston Weinmann: > >>My Gmail works for sending mail, but not for POP receiving.
