Sweet, it works!

 

[Maximus96]

anybody know how i can setup outlook, or another email program to separate each gmail account, instead of lumping everything into 'local folder'? i've got two gmail addresses that i want to use with an email client, but has not been able to separate emails from the two.

This is way too hot. Thanks OP for bringing it to our attention.

do you have to open the ports on your firewall

# Click the 'Advanced' tab.
# Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Outgoing Mail (SMTP).'
# Enter '465' in the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP):' field.
# Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Incoming mail (POP3).' The port will change to 995.

i have tried this in outlook 2003 and am getting errors

anyone else

jC

Here is my setting in Outlook 2003

Server

pop.Gmail.com
smtp.Gmail.com

Username user@Gmail.com

Outgoing Server

SMTP requires authenication
Use same settings as incomeing mail server

Advanced

pop3 port 995 using ssl
smtp port 465 using ssl

crap

I have those same settings

is there a wait period or something after you enable the pop settings in the gmail account?

jC

No there was no wait for me. I got the same error messages untill I noticed the user name setting was wrong. It has to have @Gmail with you user name.

according to gmail site is set port 587 using tsl not smtp port 465 using ssl



try set port 587 using tsl work for me
or port 587 using sll work for me in too

I have been using freepops for over a month now. I have it running under linux and winxp and works great with gmail, hotmail and yahoo, and most other web based email accounts. For those who dont have pop enabled yet you can try this out. Works pretty good.

This is HOT. I've been waiting for this. Thanks OP!

 

[Scarpozzi]

NICE!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

 

[dsfunk]

anyone get this working with yahoo yet?

 

[chipmonk]

make sure go to their web enable pop box and check the box Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded) . and don't check Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on. if you check that box your email client will not receive any new mail and sometime you will receive mail with text. I think that is the bug

I have the same problem on my work machine with Eudora 5.2, although it works fine with Eudora 6 at home.

I'm running Eudora 6. Couldn't solve it so I gave up. And yes all my settings in Gmail were set to download it. Tried it on 2 accounts, neither worked. Even tried disabling Black Ice firewall. Oh well, no biggie.

imap is better. pop3 is where you dl the email to your computer and saves it there. whereas imap allows you to read the email through your client but the file is still on their server.
