Just popping in

I am moving to a new apartment and in the process I will change my internet supplier.

Sadly, this means that I have to lose my old and trusty email..

So, I was thinking that I should get a gmail account.

Is it possible to make this work with SimpleMail? And if so - how?

Not sure about using Gmail with Simplemail, but it works great with IBrowse (being web based).

Oh, that's great news!

But I read somewhere that people have had it working on YAM, so it should be able to work in Simplemail as well...

gmail work great with ibrowse-mode simplified (and I think all amiga browsers) and also great with YAM beta.

Not too shy to talk

GMail offer a standard POP3 interface to your account so you should be able to use that with pretty much any mail programme from the last decade...

unless I'm doing something wrong, no, it's not working with SimpleMail. The settings are as suggested in google mail support

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12769

no IMAP and no POP3.. how strange is that!?

Tripple checked, "SimpleMail can not connect to the server" but it does work with claw-mail under AmiCygnix..

Has it something to do with SSL?

I've been using GMail with SimpleMail since many years now. I even wrote an How to to (in French) :

Just pulled up my YAM config. Gmail DOES use SSL encryption, I'm not sure if simplemail supports this. (The last guy got it to work apperently, though I can't read French, and neither can Google, despite what they claim.

) Anyway, the SMTP is pop.gmail.com port 465 and it uses SSLLv3 Authentication. The POP3 settings are for the same server (pop.gmail.com), only on port 995 instead. My ISP switched over to Gmail instead of maintaining their own POP server (Beacuse TDS are a bunch of cheap a$$ $&^*%^%@@!!!), and I'm still using "their" email to send stuff. The server/port settings should still be the same, though.

EDIT: Looks like K-L shows the right settings for downloading from Gmail, but he's using a different server to send mail. (The SMTP stuff)

EDIT2: Tried the english translation, Google didn't slaughter it as badly as I thought it would.

Impossible de se connecter au serveur pop.gmail.com: Impossible de se connecter au serveur.

Besides account-name and password, my settings are exactly the same as yours. I don't know why it can't connect. I have a yahoo account set up too and it connects and loads my emails without problems.

Maybe there are some problems with SSL on OS 4.1 / Sam?

I managed to read his article, but still no luck here.. I guess I will have to try with YAM.. Thanks for your help anyway

@Amigo1

For SMTP, I use my ISP SMTP (in order to avoid having to use SSL).

Can you show me your config ?

SMTP is not the problem as it serves just to send the email. I want to be able to access my mailbox first.

anyway, the very same config works on YAM even if I obmit the "@googlemail.com" part in the account name (contrary on what is explained if you follow the link to google-help)

of course, and I rechecked right now, it would not work with YAM else..

@Amigo1

I Don't really see why it would not work with the exact same configuration as mine...

Maybe an SSL problem but it seems really weird. And it works with Yam nonetheless. So SimpleMail should work too.

Sorry for not being able to help you further

I am using SimpleMail and gmail with imap here and it dose work under OS4.1, but for some reason you need AmiSSL v1 and AmiSSL v2 installed as well as AmiSSL v3 that comes pre-installed with OS4.

You can download the installers from here: http://www.heightanxiety.com/AmiSSL/

Sam440ep 667mhz 512megs OS4.1 + Minimig, 4MB RAM, ARM add-on board
