Hi to all.
I am a new user of popman.
I have some problems:
I have tried to chek some accounts, but there is always the error:

ErrorOccured: Error=4; ErrLoc=401; Terminate=1

From a Gmail account the errors is:

-->> ErrorMessage: gmail: Connessione fallita ("Socket Error # 10060 Connection timed out."); ErrCode: 1401.

What is the problem?

Error 401 means that PopMan is unable to connect to the Pop3 server.
Are you sure, you use the correct server address and port number (110 usually)?
Do you have a firewall installed (maybe you have the WinXP firewall running) that prevents PopMan from connecting to the Internet?
Are you able to check your mail with your mail client?
What version of PopMan\Windows do you use?
What kind of internet connection do you have?

Regarding GMail, it seems to be "normal" that the connection attempt fails (times out) sometimes.

This seems to be a problem with the GMail pop3 servers, because I experience the same effect with other mail clients, too.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reponse.
I have tried to set the "server timeout" at 60 minutes.... now it work! It is so simply...!!!

It was 7 minutes, but it isn't too much.....!!

I like so much popman, it is a good program: it is really fast and portable!
