I am using the stable kontact/kmail packages and do not have any problem |
| 35 |
accessing my gmail account. Assuming that yours is correctly configured and |
| 36 |
there are no network problems, I can only point the finger at the testing |
| 37 |
versions you are running. |

BTW, a couple of weeks ago I *did* have problems accessing Gmail, which I |
| 40 |
attributed to the gmail pop server. It only lasted a couple of days and |
| 41 |
since then popping Gmail has been trouble free. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
It may be worth trying openssl to connect to Gmail on the command line to |
| 44 |
troubleshoot it, if you are still getting failures to connect. |
