Pop Goes the GMail

PGtGM has been discontinued. Please use http://www.gnotify.com/gpopper/ instead!

PGtGM sits between you GMail account and your email client, converting messages from the web based mailbox into POP3 messages that a program such as Outlook Express or Firebird can understand.

Please post any bugs you find in the login process to the thread, or problems displaying messages.

Hello,

I have Gpopper installed and I followed all the procedures. I have it with OE, Outlook 2003 and Eudora. To receive, the 3 of them works perfectly fine and I love it.

To send, it is another story. Outlook and OE are working but with Eudora, I am encoutering this error:

& MessageBuilder was called

!! MimeDecoder caused error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

& POPData was called: QUIT

& SMTPData was called: QUIT

!! SMTPData->sSMTP.BeginReceive caused error: Cannot access a disposed object named "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".

Object name: "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".

& POPAccept was called

I tried playing with all the options and no luck. Eudora also uses port 25 to send. I have .net runtime installed.

Any help would eb appreciated.

I haven't had much luck accessing gmail through ptpgm

I either get this

& SSLConnection was called: www.google.com
!! Login caused error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

or 

& SSLConnection was called: www.google.com
!! Login caused error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

.

I am using thunderbird to access the email but as it doesn't get that far, it doesn't really matter. I use firefox 1.0pr and have installed the gmail notification extention and that works perfectly. I am behind proxies, but both gmail and the firefox gmail notifier, do not as for any passwords (apart from the gmail) so its bypassing them.

I have tried both setting the proxy settings and direct connections in both networks I access. One is a corporate network, the other is a university.

And I am running ZA Pro with full access associatated to the app. I deactivated za, and let win firewall handle protection (with app allowed) still no go.

Any Ideas. - Btw would having the gmail notifer in firefox active cause these problems

Thanks

Update

Sorry Just saw the link to gpopper. That seems to connect -now to link it up.

Continuing on from above. Get this error on the corporate network,

i'm running winxp sp1 with the .net runtimes.

i'm an end-user wanting to use this software to interface gmail with outlook (office xp) and msn messenger (via messenger plus)

when i runt the PGtGM exe (with the dll in the same dir) i get a loading splash with a blue loading bar in the centre (basically like the attached image)

its looks for the most recent version (which it is) and then checks the pop3, stmp and imap ports. then it breaks and i get this (other attachment) error dilogue. not having a debugger, that's all the info that i can give.

can you help?

PGtGM does not work for me!!!

My email address is firstname.surname@gmail.com (notice the dot)

I enter in my username: firstname.surname and click view emails works once and only once any other time after it errors with:

************** Exception Text **************

System.ArgumentException: value

at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

-----------------------End of Error-----------------------

So I delete the . (dot) from my username it errors for an non existant username this is understandable.

Put the . (dot) back in my username works for one time only!!! how frustrating

any Fixes? or just use FreePOPs...

Regards

Ironically when I signed up for this forum and sync'd my email to collect the 'confirm your registration' email, I was using your wicked little gPopper app already. :cool:

It's really cool, nice one. I'm not a programmer but know a little code, I'm an MCSE so dabble in some scripting etc. I was recently invited by a fellow IT collegue to join GMail...

I have to say it will take some time before I really start to use it properly, but having this wonderful app you have written makes it far more useable for me personally, well done that man! :woot:

I may have one slight issue however. It seems to timeout when I have no new email. I connect to 3 pop servers in total, gmail being the last. When I send a test email from my default pop account to my gmail, the email is normally sent and received in the same sync, as gmail is last. In this instance it's quick, but with no new email it seems to timeout.

I downloaded your app tonight, so latest version. I'm assuming nothing is wrong with my config etc as it works as long as there is an email at gmail...

If you want my .NET and other version info let me know... ;)

Thanks for your efforts, great app!

Snapper :rofl:
