Thats TRUE! it is Non Functional for those users too retarded to read the setup page and dont use the correct ports for pop access that gmail uses which ARE indeed different to what most pop/smtp servers run. That does not make it non-standards though. Some users dont turn SSL on etc which is standard for gmail.

I don't think I would dare to call Carlos 'retarded', Andrew. He is one of the most clued up member of this list yet he has had major problems with accessing his Gmail via POP. From reading his previous posts on the subject he did initially get it set up and running sweetly. After a period of time it simply did not work/function correctly. Carlos did not make any settings changes so one must conclude that Gmail have changed something??? Now, whether or not this breaks standards compliance or not is the subject of another thread, I would have thought. I have to hazard the guess that perhaps Gmail have moved the goalposts regarding POP access because the web version is advert funded and these do not get shown via POP? -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
