[mew-int 3114] Re: Can't connect to Gmail's pop3 server

[Harri Kiiskinen]

I'm not using pop, but imap/smtp require some additional
settings. Here's a slice of my functional config which you may be able
to adapt for pop:

	 (imap-server "imap.gmail.com")
	 (imap-ssl t)
	 (imap-ssl-port 993)
	 (imap-user "username")
	 (smtp-ssl t)
	 (smtp-ssl-port 465)
	 (smtp-auth-list ("PLAIN" "LOGIN" "CRAM-MD5"))
	 (smtp-user "username")
	 (smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")

I guess if you use pop you might need to find out, what the value for
'pop-ssl-port' should be. Note that at least for imap and smtp you
don't need the full address in the '-user' fields, just the username
part.

Best,

Harri K.
