Using Retrieve Pop3 and Gmail

Post by abarbour » Tue Oct 26, 2010 10:45 am

For some reason this command doesn't seem to work just seems to

I get a 'connected' message - but the command does not download the message - and then times out after 30 seconds.

Let>POP3_STATUS=1
Let>POP3_PORT=995
Let>POP3_TIMEOUT=30
RetrievePOP3>pop.gmail.com,EMAILWASHERE,PSWDWASHERE,C:\macrotest\popmail\incoming

Gmail requires SSL - is this the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THanks
Andrew

Yes, that's the problem. RetrievePOP3 does not support SSL.

Marcus - thanks for the reply. Is SSL support on the radar screen for RetreivePop3? I noticed there were methods for using SSL for other http requests...

Thanks
Andrew
