Well, there are two possible issues: - for one, as already mentioned, Arachne is a web browser and not an email client, so it isn't doing POP3 in the first place. Beside that GMail isn't doing "stanard" POP3 (on TCP/110) but POP3 over SSL, which runs on TCP/995 (likewise, SMTP is not using TCP/25, it's SMTP over SSL on TCP/465) - when accessing GMail via a web browser, you are also no longer using standard http (TCP/80) but https over TCP/443. Not sure if Arachne handles https properly (last time I had a look at it, years ago, it didn't) Ralf -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

If you were successfully able to connect to the Internet and reach GMail, you can probably use HTML mode in GMail to read and reply to mail, but you won't be able to download it via POP. Why do you *need* to download mail? I use GMail as my primary account, and I'm perfectly happy to use the web interface and leave the mail on GMail's servers. > --- A FreeDOS User __ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
