| Rob 06/02/2005 4:49am | Has anyone successfully been able to run their POP3 enabled Gmail through i.Scribe yet?
If so, what server settings have you used to get it to work. I'm stumped????? ~ R |
| Rob 06/02/2005 6:15am | Sorry... I only just found 'Geodog's' thread... but even after installing the OpenSSL app, when I try to add the SSL plugin I get this error message:
ScribePlugin load log: Operating system couldn't load the library file (.DLL/.SO) Failed. Any clues with what's going on here? |
| fret 06/02/2005 11:16pm | Firstly you should unpack the SSL plugin into the same folder as Scribe. And then from the File -> Plugins window in Scribe add 'Scribe_SSL.dll'.
Which OS version are you using? Which version of Scribe? (You should be using v1.88 test3 or test4 with the latest download of the SSL plugin. |
| fret 06/02/2005 11:27pm | Actually if your downloading the plugin again make sure you get v1.88-test4 as well. I updated both over the weekend so I'm not sure what you already have.
Secondly I've tested gmail access myself and it works fine. So if we can get past the SSL plugin problems then it should be good to go. |
| Rob 07/02/2005 12:06am | OK... I'm gonna get this if it kills me!
SSL Plugin is now installed OK. And here's my settings as I have them: ---------------------- SEND Server: smtp.gmail.com:465 (Optional)Domain: - Username: myusername@gmail.com Authentication Type: All ---- RECEIVE Mail Box Type: POP3 Server Port: pop.gmail.com:995 Username: myusername@gmail.com ---- CONNECTION Both Send and Receive SSL boxes checked (on). ---------------------- With those settings I do a check mail and get the following log error message: Connected to 'pop.gmail.com:995' using SSL Error 1: error:00000001:lib(0):func(0):reason(1) SSL Connection Closed |
| fret 07/02/2005 12:22am | I think something is blocking the socket connection to pop.gmail.com. I can access my account using that address fine. Although I don't put the '@gmail.com' on the username.
Can you ping pop.gmail.com? |
| fret 07/02/2005 12:40am | e.g.
Connected to 'pop.gmail.com:995' using SSL +OK Gpop ready. USER ******* +OK send PASS PASS ******* +OK Welcome. STAT +OK 0 0 QUIT SSL connection closed. |
| Rob 07/02/2005 12:48am | can you explain how one 'pings'? LOL
Sorry mate... I'm not that 'techie'... |
| Rob 07/02/2005 12:50am | Could it be the firewall here at work? |
| fret 07/02/2005 1:01am | Firewall: definiately. A firewall will block all sorts of outgoing traffic as well as incomming traffic.
To ping something, open up a command prompt (start->run: 'cmd' on 2k or XP). Then: c:\winnt\>ping pop.gmail.com And hit enter. If you get 100% packet loss in the summary at the bottom it's not a good sign. |
| fret 07/02/2005 1:04am | If your work allows SSH connections out of the firewall you can use that to bounce the connection off an intermediate server. Although it's tricky to setup it's more secure than any POP or SMTP connection normally is. You'd have to find out from the sysadmin whether they let you do that. |
| Rob 07/02/2005 1:11am | my PC is so locked down here I can't even get to a DOS prompt. I'll just try it when I get home and see what happens... thanks anyway... |
| Rob 07/02/2005 8:30am | OK... so it's definitely a firewall issue in terms of at work. I am now able to receive emails at home, but sending them now gives me the following error:
-------------------------------- myusername@gmail.com ((null)) We're rejected by the server: No 'from' address in email. Server error message. No 'from' address in email. -------------------------------- You getting sick of me yet? LOL |
| fret 07/02/2005 10:30am | I've verified that it works with the following settings:
Server: smtp.gmail.com:587 Domain: ESMTP: on Username: [myuser] Pass: [mypass] Auth Type: 'All' Preferred chars: (whatever) And obviously, turn on SSL for sending in the connection tab. |
| Rob 07/02/2005 2:38pm | Yeah I'm all good now...
The problem ended up being that I hadn't filled out the fields under: File > Options > Identity Fantastic program mate! Well done! |
| Geoff Hill 21/02/2005 6:51pm | GMail help also. I am also having trouble with gmail access. I have followed the instructions:
(a) installed 1.88 v5 of i.scribe (b) unpacked SSL plugin into i.scribe directory (c) changed the account setup to send smtp.gmail.com:587 receive pop.gmail.com:995 (d) checked both send and receive for SSL I can successfully send messages, but I cannot receive messages. I get the following message in the log file Connected to pop.gmail.com:995 using SSL +OK gpop ready USER hillgm +OK send PASS PASS ****** -ERR [SYS/PERM] Your account is not enabled for POP access SSL connection close Can anyone identify what I am doing wrong please. |
| fret 21/02/2005 9:26pm | Geoff: You need to switch POP access on in the Gmail interface. Go into Settings->Forwarding And POP->POP Download
Then it should work. |
