More GMail/Thunderbird problems

    Trying to access gmail through thunderbird to test the company hosted email solution.

    I've set it up on gmail to allow pop3 (I even have "Status: POP is enabled for all mail")

    I've followed the gmail/thunderbird configuration file, making triply sure to use the ports 995 and 587 for pop and smtp.

    https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=38343

    And I can connect to gmail if I do this from dos

    telnet pop.gmail.com 995

    However on thunderbird, when I click on get messages, it tries to connect and slowly dies without even prompting for a password. It used to work here months ago when I last tried it, but it doesn't work now.

    Is anyone else having the problem?. Do I need to open any other ports other than 995 or 587?. I'm using Thunderbird 1.5.0.4.

    have you enabled SSL as apposed to just changing the post numbers?

    EDIT: the host should be pop.googlemail.com according to the help file.

    Just tested it in Outlook, and used the test settings feature.

    We can connect to the smtp server but not the pop server.

    I'm presuming then that its a network problem, or its something
    to do with google.

    Yeah, I've selected SSL (in both TBird and Outlook) rather than just change the port to 995.

    And I've just tried changing the pop server to pop.googlemail.com and it makes no difference (I have a gmail.com address rather than a googlemail.com anyway).

    Attaching the ethereal dump of the connection.

    I'd take from it, packets 1-3 are initial connection and synchronisation.
    Packets 4,6,7 are SSL connections and transfer of SSL data.
    Packet 9 kills the connection for some reason.

    Figured it out. By connecting to another network and seeing that the thunderbird configuration was fine, I could see it was a local network problem. After some experimentation found it was due to P3Scan running on the firewall.

    As per the directions of this

    Turned off the use of SSL, but kept the port number at 995 and it works.
