Cannot Access Port 995 forLive Mail
-
14. november 2009 22:07I use Live Mail for all of my email accounts. I have 2 Gmail accounts which no longer download emails in Live Mail. For both accounts I receive the following message:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Gmail xxxx account. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: 'pop.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060
Last month I received an email from my ISP provider, Verizon, indicating Port 25 for outgoing mail will be discontinued November 17th. However, I do not see how that would have an impact on incoming Port 995.
I contacted Gmail which advised the error is a firewall concern.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Camiele

The One Care firewall should automatically allow the correct ports for Windows Mail. To verify this is a firewall issue turn off the One Care firewall and see if you can connect to your mail server.

Other antivirus software that purports to scan email would be the most likely culprit.
