Oh, how I hate that error message! :-(
But this "temporary" error hasn't changed since Dec 14, when it started. I have googled, and found an email thread in "debian-user" ([OT] Gmail POP fails), with some people
Me.
reporting the exact same error even earlier than me, with diferent email configurations, but no solution.
Still no solution here.
I have not found any mention of this in gmail help either.
Ditto, I also contacted Gmail on 29 November and have yet to receive a responce. Personally I don't think POP access is a priority for Gmail - they make their money from ad's, which you don't see with POP.
How about you people? Any clues, pointers?
I finally gave up and deleted 20MB of the 22MB of backed-up mail in my Gmail account. The last 2MB I archived and then, with an empty Gmail inbox, I sent a message to myself from my Mighty account. I then tried to download it from Gmail - it worked for the first time in 26 days. I managed to download mail. I then let some list mail in (no attachment, nothing funny) and tried to download again. Nothing, lockup - same error message as above. Remove, try again. Send myself mail, download - success. Conclusion: My Gmail account doesn't like list mail. :-( I've given up on Gmail... ...maybe later? Sorry I can't give you good news, Carlos. :-( -- Robert "roach" Spencer Pietermaritzburg South Africa
