Off lately, occasionally I have been observing Gmail POP3 access error out in Outlook Express
(Msg - Connection to server failed) despite of keeping 3 minutes of long duration in my settings. On webmail it works fine.
I use Youtele broadband. I am not very sure if this is due to something wrong at Gmail end or hopeless Internet connectivity at my end.
Has anyone using Gmail thru Pop3 faced similar problem recently?
Thanks,

I doubt its something related to Gmail. Must be your ISP only.

Nah.Nuthin with the ISP.
I use the same ISP(YouTele was Iqara previously) and no probs with either
POP3 or IMAP.

Its not due to problem with ISP. I have had the same problem with two different providers

I am using Gmail (POP) for quite some time. Didn't face any problem yet. Working perfect this week also.

Must be some settings or ISP may be ?
