I am unable to download mails from gmail via POP3 in Outlook Express.

I get the following error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'GMAIL', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Any workaround for this issue.

Thanks in advance.

try these
*members.connectto.net/email/outlookexpress_0x800CCC0E.htm
*forum.theispguide.com/isp-ftopic4877.html

just try googling. I had a problem in our ambala office once and i did something which sorted it out. It was over a month ago so i don't remember, but I did use gmail troubleshooter. Download from here.
*dl.google.com/gmailpoptroubleshooter/GmailPopTroubleshooterInstaller.exe

Hope this works. Do get back on your success or failure.
