I follow the introduction like the web page, want to set up gmail for Evolution.

But When I try to send or receive a mail,it always failed.Check the debug logs,showing:
Could not connect to pop server
Could not connect to smtp server

Could anyone know what I should check ,in this machine I can connect internet no problem.

What happens when you try to send or receive? Does it give you an error message, or just time out? Did you enable POP access in your gmail account?

Copy your exact settings from Evolution here.. without seeing what you entered it's impossible for us to figure out what is wrong.

Hi mattca ,Thanks very much for your reply!

When I trying to send or receive mail,It always stay in the " send & receive" dialog, in the left corner of the screen,it showing "Fetching mail"...I wait many times ,it can't send or receive even one mail.So I have to cancel it .

My detail setting as following:

* Login to my gmail account and select Forwarding and POP.
Status: POP is enabled

* Open evolution in Ubuntu910:

Select Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts
Receiving email Tab:
Server type: POP
Server: pop.gmail.com
Username: mine...@gmail.com
Security > Drop-down menu > select SSL connection
Authenthication Type: password
Flag remember password

Sending email Tab:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Flag: server requires authentication
Use Secure Connection: SSL
Fill in Username: mine...@ gmail.com

What port numbers are you using? You should have one for outgoing, and one for incoming.

I both use the default port number.Should I change it?
