Use this link for the server names and port numbers. Do not run the autoconfigure feature - just copy server information and ports to Your email info here.

It will not work with Yahoo unless you pay yahoo for forward rights.

Heh, yahoo...I saw the funniest yahoo video on youtube yesterday but it's not appropriate outside the backroom...

 

[stone phillips420]

okay i tried the above all settings are correct yet everytime all i get is pop3 error
i dont use outlook eudora or anything like that all i use is gmail
so how do i get gmail to reflect in the mail system here?
or is this for outlook eudora and other programs?

Looks like gmail requiring SSL is causing the problem

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just got a note from the author.

GMail requieres a SSL connection, this is not yet implemented, but I have an idea that hopefully will work....

So he is working on it.

Besides Gmail I am happy to say this is working great on all other normal pop services.

Hmmm, it worked for my Yahoo! e-mail, but probably because I was with SBC (with an SBC domain) before they joined forces with Yahoo!.

I'm kinda curious about the intended audience for this feature. As an IT Infrastructure-type at work, this is the sort of "feature" that we cringe over. We take all these steps to block viruses and worms through the corporate e-maill filters and anti-virus, but then some yahoo (sorry about that ) goes and logs into their home e-mail while at work and *bam*, NIMDA is spreading behind the firewalls...

This feature looks like a low-key way to thwart some of the blocking of ISPs and their webmail that we have in place. If they find out, they'll block the SatelliteGuys URL and IP addresses.

scott, any update to webmail situation using gmail?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope none, the author is trying to work with the Gmail folks but unfortunately they are not trying to work with him.

I have been using the Webmail feature all wee as I have been in class and it has worked very well for me.

when and if the feature does work with gmail it will be a bouns
thanks scott

Scott - Tell the author to try using port 587.
