Problem With ing From Gmail

When i use portable thunderbird it says that it connected, but it never s the mail. if i exit the program while it is connecting it "kills" the connection. this prevents me from ing my mail.

Note: i have checked to make sure that all of my settings, name, and are correct.

You'll have to follow these instructions exactly. Gmail requires certain settings be changed in order to work, specifically SSL on port 995 for POP (incoming) and TLS on port 587 for SMTP (outgoing).

gmail problem

I've on rare occasions seen the same problem. I am confident it is a gmail problem as I tested known back-ups with similar results. I use PTB sans themes and exstensions to limit variables.

Not if you use TLS

And you SHOULD be using TLS... unless you want your GMail and flying over the internet unencyrpted.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
