Settings:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
---


This command has to work from command line :

telnet pop.gmail.com 995

...If not somethings not OK with your network

TIP:
You have to manually enable telnet on VIsta or Windows 7.

Here is example that works fine:

Java Tips - Connecting GMail using POP3 connection with SSL

TIP:
If code is not working well
go to method
printAllMessages()
and put comment on FetchProfile:

/*
		// Use a suitable FetchProfile
		FetchProfile fp = new FetchProfile();
		fp.add(FetchProfile.Item.ENVELOPE);        
		folder.fetch(msgs, fp);
	*/

...Now when you run code
it should list all of your INBOX messages.


Be sure that your gmail account is set properly.

So login to your gmail account first
and then click this link:

http://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings/fwdandpop

...it will lead you directly to your account Settings for POP.

If everything is set fine you will find no problem.

Any other problem related to JAVA MAIL API,
go to "JAVA MAIL API FAQ" and you will find it all there.

regards!
