I am running Windows Vista on my computer and I am getting the below error message when I am trying to configure my gmail account along with the Windows Mail:
Account: 'pop.gmail.com (1)', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR not supported w43pf6267284pyg', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
Can anyone tell me how do I access gmail through windows mail? Thanks for any help.
Can you go to the Properties of the account that you are using and then go to Server Tab and then make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" is unchecked. Also the incoming server is pop.gmail.com and the outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com which you will need to configure. Also try to checj the box of "My Server Requires Authentication" so that you will be able to send mails.
Check the below method on how to enable POP in Gmail:
- Sign in to Gmail.
- Click the gear icon in the upper right, then select Settings.
- Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
- Choose what to do with your messages after your POP client or device receives them.
Although the radio button next to your selected option may not stay selected, Gmail displays the status next to 'POP Status:.' When you enable POP, your settings display 'POP Status: POP is enabled.'
If your POP settings are turned off, the status will indicate that POP is disabled.
