hi,

I have installed thunderbird in linux . I want to back up my gmail account . I followed same configuration rules for thunderbird given in gmail account but then it is not connecting to pop.gmail.com. It is showing pop server not connecting. Port no. I assigned for pop is 995. I login into root even then these ports are not enabled. Can anyone help me how can I enable ports < 1024. I had SELinux enabled.

You could use an account wizard (file>new>account). There's an option 'gmail', which will set it up automatically.

I even tried that but it is not working

Perhaps, you haven't enabled pop3 in your gmail settings

I was receiving E-Mails with the correct Subject but the Message was not a new message but the same old confirmation of a received E-Mail from months ago. Thanks to the person that said in Thunderbird click on the File menu and under Compact Folders click on EMPTY TRASH. That worked!

Do you have ssl checked on the security settings? On my setup (which works) Use secure authentication is not checked.
