Virgin and Googlemail
 

Is anyone else on Virgin having issues accessing Googlemail via Pop?

I cant even download emails on my bros laptop through my connection.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

yes and it gives me errors on both my bros laptop and my pc...

Starts to download emails, downloads a few and then i get this error...

Task (Email address) - recieving reported error (0x800CCC0F):
The Connection to ther server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact ur server administrator or internet service provider (ISP). The Server responded: -EER [SYS/TEMP] this fake empty mailbox has no messages. b36pf332935ika.8

i know theres emails on there cos i can log in and view them theres 42 of them.

Antivirus? Quite a common issue. Similar symptoms.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

Have you enabled pop in your gmail settings?

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

I use Panda on my PC, and brother uses Avast so different Antiviruses...

I just went next door to one of the students with my bros laptop and asked if i could try it on their connection they r will Tiscalli.

The Emails downloaded perfect no errors.

I asked him to email me through a few emails from his tiscalli to my gmail so i can download on my connection for a test.

He sent me 5 emails all had a 24k picture file attached... It downloaded 2 and failed.

If it worked perfectly on a Tiscalli connection and not on my Virgin Connection surely its a connection fault?

try: http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=w....aspx&id=64855

(but yes it does)

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

Yep, I currently can't download on POP or IMAP, from any of my various devices. I've reset both router and modem, and I can happily ping to the various gmail domains (imap.gmail.com, pop.googlemail.com etc), and access Gmail in a web browser window. But, as of about 10am this morning, I have been unable to access either Gmail POP or IMAP from my PC, Macbook or iPhone. All work fine through the iPhone's 3G connection, so it can't be my Gmail account that's at fault. Thinking a Virgin Media DNS issue...

Oh, I meant to say that I simply get a 'server timed out' error if I leave it trying. But as noted, it all works fine over a non-Virgin connection. So something fishy going on.

...and about five minutes after I posted this, Gmail IMAP/POP started working again! Will report back if I have any more ups and downs today.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

ive been having problems on and off for weeks, i usually download the emails late at night around 11pm cos if theres any large attachments its faster.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

can someone check hotmail again

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

Hotmail OK in Manchester. Can I check anything else whilst I'm on the thread?

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

have you guys tried fastmail.fm

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

no problem with Googlemail and POP3 here.
Did you change the POP server under advanced settings?

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

I use fastmail as a anti-spam throw away address, thier freebies though are only accessable via IMAP and they don't have a free SMTP server

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

Checked my mail server logs and Pop3 to SMTP agent for the last 24hrs and no issues collecting off 6 googlemail accounts (A combination of gmail.com and several domains with MX records pointing to google)

Hotmail is also fine.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

im still having problems on my Virgin Connection.... I have now setup my emails to download what i need on my ex partners connection who is using Sky and backing the Outlook file up to bring to my own pc and it works fine on the sky connection.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

No problem here, Live Mail, Hotmail & Google mail all working as expected - sorry, I know that doesn't help those having problems, but posted for perspective..

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

Just configured pop3 access for my gmail account - successfully downloaded 1672 messages totalling 89.7MB, so seems to work OK from here. Interestingly had to check mail four times to get it all - seems to be a limit somewhere on how much you can get at once all blocks about the same size (though not exactly) ie twentysomething MB no timeouts here.

Re: Virgin and Googlemail
 

DON'T delete that backup Outlook file from your Partner's PC until you're sure it works ok on yours!
