Keyboard - Hardware

I cant figure out why my mail monitor on the LCD will not check my gmail messages. I enabled POP in my gmail settings then entered in the instructions from gmail.
Mail sever: pop.gmail.com
Port: 995
and then my login and pass, but it keeps telling methe pop3 address or port number are wrong through the desktop software (when i do test connection), and ERROR: could not connect to server on my g15 lcd.
I double checked and POP is definately enabled in my gmail settings.
Am i missing something?

The problem may lie in that the pop-mail on the G15 can not do SSL.

However, I do not know if it supports SSL, this is just a guess, can anyone verify whether
it can or cannot?

[#3]

That would make sense. SSL is required for gmail POP but... that would really really suck if there wasnt anything I could do about it.

[#4]

I have never used the POP control, so, I don't even know what it does really. I am guessing however, that it does not support SSL. I know what you can do though, is use Outlook or Thunderbird mail-systems to connect to google, and if you turn on the display to show new messages with the clock, it will give you a notice of new mail. Again, I don't know if that is what the POP control does, but it may be worth something to you to try that. Maybe in time they will add SSL support to the POP control.

I setup my mail client (mozilla thunderbird), and you were right the message indicator displays on clock screen which is fine by me.
I called logitech anyway to see if we could figure out how to enable ssl support, this is the response I got from the phone tech:
"Well... ummm, your going to want to call... the SSL and talk to them about support."
All I have to say is WOW!

[#6]

Haha, well that is odd.. Maybe they want you to call Netscape?? lol

I am glad the display on the clock works for you.

Here is something you can take a look at:

I found a text file inside of this directory that describes what to do...
C:\Program Files\Logitech\G-series Software\Applets\LCDPop3


Here is what the text file says in case you don't have it. Hope that helps.

POP3 with SSL Readme

1. OVERVIEW
2. INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
3. RUNNING STUNNEL
4. LCD POP3 MONITOR CONFIGURATION
5. GMAIL

****************************************************************************
1. Overview
Some servers are SSL enabled to access POP3 email, and some like Gmail even
require it. To connect to a POP3 server using SSL it is recommended to use
a program called STunnel (http://www.stunnel.org).

****************************************************************************
2. Installation & Configuration
Once you download the STunnel package, you will need to install it to a
directory of your choice. You will then need to edit the stunnel.conf file
that is in the installation folder. See the example below:

Example:
To connect to Gmail, write the following in the config file:

client = yes
debug = debug

[pop3s]
accept = 127.0.0.1:1109
connect = pop.gmail.com:995

[smtps]
accept = 127.0.0.1:259
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465

****************************************************************************
3. Running STunnel
Launch stunnel.exe which is located in the installation folder. After starting
the program you can configure the POP3 Monitor to connect to STunnel which
in turn is going to connect to the server specified in the coonfig file via
SSL.

****************************************************************************
4. LCD POP3 Monitor Configuration
From the LCD POP3 Monitor configuration window, set the following:

Mail Server: 127.0.0.1
Port Number: 1109
User Name:
Password:

****************************************************************************
5. Gmail
POP3 email access is not enabled by default in Gmail. You must go into the
Gmail settings to enable it. I this is not done, the LCD POP3 Monitor applet
will not be able to retrieve your emails.

did this work for any one? I am still unable to get a connection to the server....

V2V3, did you try the G-Mail notifier?
