I am trying to get my e-mail messages from gmail into max. I have put the mail.jar and activation.jar files in the java/lib directory. I have enabled pop3 in my email account. I can instantiate the [mxj net.mail.recv] object but i cant get any of my emails through it.

the middle outlet of [mxj net.mail.recv] gives the following error message

exceptions: javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed;

    java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out

Has anyone ever managed to get mail from gmail using [mxj net.mail.recv]?

If anyone has the time and the inclination and uses gmail would they like to give it a try?!

I was just able to get [mxj net.mail.recv] working with my gmail. I did it via IMAP, not POP. Make sure that your protocol is set to imaps not just imap (the s tells JavaMail to use SSL) and that your mail server is imap.gmail.com:993 as gmail wants to be contacted through port 993.

If you're on a Mac, make sure to change the SaveMessage file dialogue to an address appropriate for a Mac. Otherwise, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to help.

Okay, and now it's only working when I get rid of the :993 off the back of the imap.gmail.com

net.mail.recv help!
