GMAIL PoP not working?

[gizbug]

Set it up in outlook 2003, use to work fine
Now it downloads, but wont send. Going on day #3 this has happened

Use your ISP's SMTP

Yeah. POP is receive only. (Note the capitalization as well. PoP is point of presence, indicating an ISPs physical server/router/dialup location.)

Using your own ISP for sending may not be feasible if you're on the road of course.

Of course I don't have an account, so I don't know how the servers are set up.

There should be error messages. You might start there.

oh
was just following the instructions on gmail.com on how to setup pop/smtp
They say to use their server
Not working either way =.

I believe in this instance POP is used to refer to POP3 (Post Office Protocol) and not to Point of Presence

As I said, note the capitalization. There are reasons for common usages being common.

Gmail POP downloading is a pisser for me... it grabs the entire conversation string. And even if that's not a bother, it seems to grab stuff that you've archived too. I set it to grab mail from "now on" back on 12/16 because there's no better option for just grab new mail. What setting do you use in the Gmail POP settings to keep it downloading just new stuff (or just new conversation strings) ?

*1/11/04 ^ is this working right now ? It started failing for me since last night (using Trillian plugin to connect via POP).

i dont see a reason why it should not work for sending, they even change the SMTP port instead of using the default 25 which my ISP blocks.
