Hello, I'm a new user to Pmail. Just did the d/l and installed it today but it will not retrieve mail from my gmail account. The message below is what I keep getting. I'm hoping someone can help me fix this. I have a new pc running Windows 7 and hope this version of windows isn't the problem. I'm really missing Outlook Express and am looking for a similar type of program.

An error has occurred during a POP3 mail download transaction. Description of error: Connection timout (no response from host).

Trace showing end of transaction.

6: Socket Timeout

Thanks to anyone who can help...

OK, first things first. Are you sure that you've got the right settings for downloading your mail from Gmail? Check the following page:

Remember, you must use SSL. I assume that you can send properly otherwise you'd have mentioned that too.

Thank you so much. I followed the directions in the link and sure enough, I did make a mistake. Now both receiving and sending mail is a breeze!

I have another question but will put that in a different post. Thanks again.
