I have pop.googlemail.com, port 995, use ssl and similar for smtp, like the help says, but I can send, but not receive. Well, sort of... When I send an email, it goes to gmail account, but I can't retrieve it. I log in to gmail, verify that pop is on (tried both options, from now on and all mail, including mail already sent). Then I try to retrieve the email and it arrives. I send another, and same story. Won't download. I log in again, verify pop settings, the mail comes, but the next one won't ad infinitum. How do you get it to work?
Apologies for dropping back in so late, but it looks like your problem has been solved. I, on the other hand, have discovered that although my incoming mail works fine, my outgoing smtp mail via gmail is not working. I thought it was, but apparently I'd still been sending it out via pacbell. So my settings in evolution are as described later in this thread, with the exception that I can't set the outgoing port, but I can't connect with the smtp server at gmail. I need to do a bit more troubleshooting... Daniel
