eccesso

HI!I am very new to the WP-blog society using the 2.8.4 ver. I also register some problems with the POSTIE PLUG by adressing my Gmail.com account. I have changed all the paramenters, in both the pop and imap features, and keep receiving the error message from the manual script test:Checking for mail manually

This is the postie plugin

Connecting to imap.gmail.com:143 (imap)
Mail Connection Time Out

Common Reasons:

Server Down

Network Issue

Port/Protocol MisMatch

The Server said:Connection failed to gmail-imap.l.google.com,143: Connection timed out

A similar error message is received in the config test.
Since this issue is more then 12 months old, and never has been solved, why don′t you avoid using the POSTIE plug, because I don′t think it ever will work regarding to the features users find in the description of the plug.

What I forgot to add was….that the e-mail feature works fine. Even though I keep receiving the annoying message from the test-config:Checking for mail manually

And since it works, I have come to the agreement with myself, that I wont bother any longer. I′ve just started with WP-blogs.
I have placed a post about the issue, but since I also discovered it is an issue of concern for more than 10-12 months, I can′t see any reason to continue the concern, because I don′t think that it ever will be fixed!

HI! I experience exactly the same problem 9 months later this post has been published! The bug obviously hasn′t been fixed, or maybe it never is going to work? Rgs Andy
