hMailServer not delivering Google Apps mail


i am using hMailServer of version hMailServer-5.4-B1944 on windows 7. My www.xyz.com.np domain mail is hosted on gmail. I have forwarded or set up catch all email to [email protected] . I have enabled fowarding and POP/IMAP from the email account part.

I created an local domain xyz.com.np on hMailServer. Created [email protected] under that domain. On external accounts tab, i defined

name MY NAME,
enabled YES ,
server address pop.gmail.com
port 995
use SSL YES
username [email protected] (of the gmail)
password ********** (of the gmail)
minutes between download 3
Deliver to receipients in MIME headers YES
Retrieve date from Received header YES
Do not Delete Messages YES

Saved and clicked on Download Now. I can login/send and receive local emails from/to hmailserver from both outlook and Round Cube mail. But no emails pulled from gmail.

My Firewalls are OFF. I can telnet or get blank at telnet pop.gmail.com 995 No Email messages are downloaded.

    I was using google mail apps password..

    name MY NAME
    enabled YES 
    server address pop.gmail.com
    port 995
    use SSL YES
    username [email protected] (of the gmail)
    password ********** (of the gmail)
    minutes between download 3
    Deliver to receipients in MIME headers YES
    Retrieve date from Received header YES
    Do not Delete Messages YES
    

    Instead of password of the gmail use the application-specific passwords http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833 =>> click the link for Singing up for Application specific password
