Reply #16 - Feb 18^th, 2010, 10:16pm Thursday 18 February 2010 Further testing shows that access to gmail does not work with a java prior to 1.4. I had not realized that until I specifically tested. The 1.4 I am using is 1.4.2_09-b05. Phil

I turned on Stunnel and changed the setting from pop.gmail.com to localhost. The above does not work with Java 1.4.2 - I have to use pop.gmail.com. Phil

Let me add my 2 bits here. I am using PMB 1.25d and Java 1.1.8 with Gmail. If it is any help to anyone, I'll describe my setup.

Win2000, Stunnel 4.33, Java 1.1.8.

To set it up first install Stunnel in Win. Then create a shortcut to run Stunnel. Edit the shortcut and add "stunnel.conf" (no quotes) after stunnel.exe with a space inbetween. Replace contents of the sample stunnel.conf with the following:

-------------------------
client = yes
output = stunnel.log

# For Gmail email connections
[Gmail-pop3]
accept = 995
connect = pop.gmail.com:995
[Gmail-smtp]
accept = 465
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
# End of config for Gmail
---------------------------

Drop the shortcut into your Startup Folder. You can manually start Stunnel now if you wish. No reboot necessary.

In PBM create a new incoming server as follows:

Mail host: localhost
Userid: (gmail email address)
Password: (gmail password)
Use SSL connection: UNCHECKED
Port:995

On your gmail account: setup POP access.

That should be all that is needed. Enjoy!

SUCCESS!!!

Cliff, I owe you big time! Your directions worked like a charm, and I didn't need to change JVMs or edit my PBar start commands or anything else. I've been wrestling with this on and off for &%#$@#% EVER, and stunnel plus your settings did the trick! Took me 10 minutes to get it working, after months* of hairpulling.

*Over a year anyway, ever since my domain/email host started blocking blacklisted or misconfigured mail servers from delivering mail to his host machines. Among the blocked servers? Com~~crap~~cast. The biggest cable ISP in the country, which effectively blocked almost half of the people who email me regularly. Now I can give them a gmail address to use, and I can continue to check it in Polarbar! &:-D

Seriously, I can't thank you enough. You rock, Cliff!
