OG 1.5.3, 1.6beta, 1.6beta2 - GMail-Accounts not working

[Claudio69]

Hi,

i have parametrized two email accounts within opengoo.

One is working which is using normal ports for pop (110) and smtp (25), the other one is not working, it is a googlemail account with ports for pop (pop.googlemail.com / 995 with SSL) and smtp (smtp.googlemail.com / 465 or 587 with TLS).

I am sure that login data - name and password - absolutly correct.

When i press the "get emails" button i get always the same error "Generic login error". I have tested it again by using a stupid string like "popxyz.notgooglemail.com" and i get the same error "Generic login error", so it seems that there is a conflict with the adress or with the portnumber.

What could be the reason?
Greetings

This works on my system.
I hope that this is not the end solution, because with using this workaround i have other problems on my system...but actualy i can live with this.
Greetings Claudio

GMail should be working correctly with POP3 port 995 over SSL and IMAP port 993 over SSL.

Some people had problems logging in to GMail through and they solved it by using an "unlock captcha" provided by Google. Don't ask me how this works or why this is needed because I have no idea, but you can try it out here. Just fill in the captcha and try fetching email through OpenGoo.

Could it be that your hosting provider is blocking some ports? Can you find that out?
