    Socket read timeout

    Hello

    I have read about the same issue here http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/926.aspx and understand this may not be a Pegasus Mail problem.

    When I try to poll a POP3 box or send mail to a newly created Googlemail account I get a Socket Read Timeout error.

    POP3:
    --- Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:17:08 ---
    Connect to 'pop.googlemail.com' port 995, timeout 15.
    10:17:08.281

  • Connection established to 66.249.93.16
    10:17:23.281 8: Socket read timeout.
    10:17:23.281 --- Connection closed normally at Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:17:23. ---\0A\0A

    SMTP report says the host did not respond.

    I have tried increasing the timeout value on the Internet Properties page and on the POP3 and SMTP configuration dialogs to 30 seconds. I have configured the router and the firewall to allow traffic through on the 995 and 465 ports to both pop.googlemail.com and smtp.googlemail.com 

    Using MS Office Outlook 2003, it connects immediately.

    Anyone have any tips or tricks that I might try to get this working please?

    Thanks
