Solution

  • According to Read Gmail messages on other email clients using POP article:

    Incoming Mail (POP) Server pop.gmail.com

    Requires SSL: Yes

    Port: 995

    So try changing your Server Host setting to pop.gmail.com

    Also double check the following:

    1. You have enabled POP in Gmail Settings
    2. You can access port 995 of pop.gmail.com server (you can check it using telnet client, i.e. it isn't blocked in your OS firewall, organization, router, etc.
    3. You are not blocked by Gmail for retrieving messages too fast
