Connection Timeout

Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:45 pm

I am running Windows 7 Home Preminum and Mailwasher Pro 6.1. I have setup a Gmail account. Every time I ask Mailwasher to check mail I get this message:

Connection timed out (possibly caused by a firewall).

I cannot seem to be able to find the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Can you check your gmail account from your e-mail program? If you can then make sure the Advanced Settings in MW match your e-mail program's exactly.

If you can't check from MW or your e-mail program check your gmail settings to make sure you have enabled POP access.
I am not a Firetrust employee just a MW user.
