The program they created didn't work for whatever reason. If anyone has similar problems configuring, I found the help page with all the settings layed out nicely here: http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/...y?answer=13287

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server – requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server – requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes

Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com')
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)

I love nPop and use it on my pc and ppc but is does not support SSL so it will never work. My job just made the switch to SSL so I can no longer use nPop for that account.

I don't think nPOPw supports secure SSL connections, which are required for the Gmail POP3 access.

update: I see Jason and I were trying to get the same message across at the same time. Same here: I love nPOPw, but lack of SSL will make me go to Inbox. Now why the heck didn't MS ever add a "Send/Receive All Accounts" in Inbox. Sigh.

Ports 995 and 465 or 587 are the standard SSL mail ports.

No - 995 is the standard POP3 SSL port. It should work fine on your PPC.

I connected on my desktop using Outlook 2002. What I don't understand is the only messages it retrieved are the 310 "Gmail Team" invitation acceptance notifications I have....

h6315 GPRS using settings above > Logging on > sending and receiving > Disconnecting > "Message cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again."


Exact settings from Inbox: Accounts > Accounts > * POP3 > enter e-mail address > Your name, user name, password > Account type: POP3, Name: POP3 > Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com, Outgoing mail: smpt.gmail.com, domain, tried blank as well as gmail.com > Options > next > outgoing e-mail server requires authentication: check, require SSL connection: check > next > finish > go back to message above > wash, rinse, repeat.

If anyone else is successful on a PPC let us know your settings!

Since I was successful, these are my settings:

Screen 1 New Account:
Enter yourusername@gmail.com

Screen 2:
Skip the auto configuration.

Screen 3:
Your name: yourname
User name: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Check Save Password

Screen 4:
Account type: POP3
Name: youraccountname

Screen 5:
Server information
Incoming mail: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com
Domain: leave blank
Tap Options

Screen 6:
Connection: yourconnection

Screen 7:
Check outgoing e-mail server requires authentification
Check require SSL connection

Rest of choices is based on your preferences.

You did enable POP3 on the GMAIL preferences, right? Not everyone has it and those that do still have to turn it on. If they haven't enabled it for you, it won't work.
