So I have a gmail account, but lately I seem to be having problems accessing it, I've tried going through Google Talk and Gmail.com but all that happens is that the site just keeps refreshing all the time and not logging in.

I've tried deleting cookies, as that was suggested as a fix for the log in problems on here as well, but it hasn't made any difference.

Anyone know what's wrong?

PS if anyone wants a gmail invite, PM me your email address or just email sfrich at gmail.com (replace at with @ sign)

i have mine in outlook express so it just checks the mail as normal.....there doesnt seem to be any problems that way

Same here!

I did log in to G Mail the other day, and had no problems with it.

btw, the cookie-clearing exercise isn't working on SF at the moment.

I tried the above and all I got was some error about proxies... :rant:

Good job I don't use my gmail account for anything really important other than spam catching.

Edit:

Anyone know what this is all about?

The server responded with an error. Account: 'mail.google.com', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

it mentions avg, so is it an error when avgs trying to scan it?

Right, simple solution to that, turn AVG off while checking gmail account?

You haven't changed the ports - Gmail do not use 25 and 110 - they use 995 and 465. :)

OK I changed teh ports... Now I get this.

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account: 'mail.google.com', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

:rant: :rant: This is annoying.

Incoming is 995, with SSL ticked, and outgoing is 465 with SSL ticked.

:)

P.S: Have you switched POP abilities on at G-Mail's end?

I can't get on teh gmail site so no teh POP abilities probably aren't on.

Ah - when G-Mail's site kicks-in, switch POP on.

Although, that defeats the object of having it through OE/L

kentboy the problems not outlook
he didnt know you can add gmail to outlook
the problems gmail full stop....the site wont load

rich, no dont disable avg........disable the option in avg for checking email tho, i never have that on, it always slows things down and normally stops my email

i just use common sense and safe downloading/sending email practices instead

So I managed to get into gmail earlier, logged in via teh main Google.co.uk web site as suggested by Dad.

Thanks all for teh Outlook Express related suggestions but I couldn't get teh thing to work :rant: so it's no good.
