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.

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

Antivirus? Quite a common issue. Similar symptoms.

Have you enabled pop in your gmail settings?

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?

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.
