Hello

I Think that my mailbox was too important , I've created a new mailbox and now I enter in Sub :
POP_ListCompleted
But now the error is the same than for smtp :

java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "pop.gmail.com": No address associated with hostname

One idea perhaps ?

Regards

Two "pop.UseSSL = True". Delete first.

Unable to resolve host "pop.gmail.com": No address associated with hostname

Hi gragey. Use a browser to send an email to your new account, and also use browser to read email.
Some times you may need to open ports and things on your local Lan, or ISP may block.

Sorry

I've done the action above
It's always the same message on the emulator and on the samsung Android tablet for smtp and pop server

Thanks

Perhaps a problem whith the Net library ...

Bye and Thanks

Just a FAR Shot. Since it is not resolving. (This is ONLY a test, Google changes there email server IP's)
from your desktop ping pop.gmail.com and write the IP in as the server instead of the name
do the same again for smtp.gmail.com.

If this works you more than likely have a DNS issue.

Good Luck.

 

[gragey]

Thank you

But it's difficult to understand the problem because after modifications, sometimes the new message is :

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out after 1 or 2 minutes

I search ...

Please use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without spaces) when posting code.

The unknown host error suggests that there is a network problem. Are you testing it with a real device?
Some ISPs may block all kinds of ports. It might be such an issue.

Thank you
i will test the programm at home this week end

Hello
In fact, the access at the gmail smtp server is OK at home , the problem is a network problem in my office.
I'll try this evening to connect to the pop.server to receive email ...

Thank you, I close the problem.
