It's just the gmail account.

I'm wondering, like Paul said, if it's because gmail uses different ports. On outgoing router log, the service is marked as POP for the others, but the gmail is marked by the port number. I don't know if it's that. :shrug:

I've emailed symantec to see if that's the problem and I'm just waiting for a reply.
Oh, so it's not just me then- I've emailed Gmail and you get the usual crap...

Got a reply from Symantec today...

They gave me this link and tried to make out that I just wasn't noticing the email scanning progress indicator that appears on the taskbar. :rolleyes: :erm:

I did actually tell them that it was working on my other email accounts and that it could be the different ports.

Oh well, I told them again...

I suddenly can't get my gmail pop to send - anyone else having problems?

Yep. I was having trouble last night as well. It took a few attempts.

Do you get the feeling they didn't understand the problem :erm: We can all see from that link that Norton AV doesn't support certain protocols that doesn't mean that it should you from using those protocols fullstop. That's like saying "we don't support your email account so we are going to block you from using it at all".

In the email, the sender said that Norton Antispam does support ssl*, but in that link it doesn't. :shrug:

Plus I'm not really bothered about antispam, it's the antivirus that I'm bothered about. I did tell them that in my first request...



*I don't if it is that, but that is the only thing that is different to my yahoo/ntlworld accounts that I use with Thunderbird.

Not sure if it has been mentioned elsewhere (or even by me).

However, I have just had an email refused to be sent because I put a .ZIP file with a .EXE file in it.
Gmail said that it refuses to send .EXE files.

So I compressed it into a password protected .RAR & that was fine.

Just to mention, that you need to "hide filenames" too I think.

More Gmail features i came across last week RSS feeds from your gmail account ;)

Newsfeed URL: http://www.gmailusers.com/atom.xml

Works well for me (you do need to authenticate as well) but let me know how it goes for you.

I put the feed as a live bookmark in the bookmark toolbar, but it seems no matter which message I pick, it just shows all the inbox. So if I've done it right, it is not much more functional than the Gmail notifier - but a cool alternative,none the less :)

Re: All things Gmail.
 
yeah your right, not much different to the notifier.

My RSS agent (FeedDemon) shows the start of each message and when you open each feed then yeah it opens the inbox. havent tried it as a live bookmark yet but will do.
