My mail server (‘Orange’) is closing soon.
I need a new mail server and have chosen Gmail and created an account.
I have a laptop and a desktop both running Windows Live Mail version 2011 through Windows 10. Both have Norton Internet Security. Both have Windows Defender turned off.
I wish to add the new Gmail account to both computers using the POP setting. I am old fashioned and like to delete all emails from the server as I download them. The IMAP setting does not seem to have that facility.
I have added the new Gmail account to the laptop. No apparent problems.
I have added the new Gmail account to the desktop. It does not work.
I have compared settings between the laptop and the desktop and they are the same.
I can still send and receive mail through my Orange server so the internet connection must be OK.
I get the following message:-
“Unable to send or receive messages for the Gmail (xxxxxxxx) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
Server: 'pop.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): No”
I have allowed access to less secure apps in my Gmail account settings but the problem persists.
I have also created a Gmail account for my wife to use and this has the same problem.
What can I do to make this work? I am not a technician but can follow simple instructions. Is there some safe software that will guarantee to fix the problem?
