you need to change your SMTP port and enable SSL. Or just use the gmail auto-configuration

POP Mail config help

Also make sure in your gmail account settings, you have the radio button labled "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)" checked off.

No one can beat gmail. Hotmail and Yahoo cannot compete.

I personally like it because you have to be invited in. I feel like I am a free mason, or something.

As far as Iknow, it's not on their free accounts. You can buy pop access and mailbox space from Yahoo. I did it for a while, because it's pretty cheap ($15/yr) and you can use your own domain.


I only use Gmail now though, even my domain mail is forwarded to that account. I can still check all my accounts from the web, or Outlook/Evolution.

There´s actually a link in your gmail control panel that tells you exactly how to do it. Anybody who tells you it´s not possible is a tard. I did it on my box back home.
