Unable to telnet pop.gmail.com

[mayank.virgo]

Hi,

I am trying to telnet pop.gmail.com on port 995, and the result of
this statement is that the screen (command prompt window) goes blank
and then again show the original command prompt (before executing
telnet command). I am able to perform trace route successfully i.e. at
hop 12 I get the desired result as follows :

12 612 ms 648 ms 716 ms py-in-f111.google.com [64.233.167.111]

Also the firewalls are shut down.
Can someone please suggest me a solution to my problem ?

That's exactly how it behaves here; telnet connects, the screen goes black
because the Gmail POP server provides no sign-on message, the session times
out, and the command prompt returns. What are you trying to accomplish and
how does this relate to Windows Mail?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to retrieve emails from
pop.gmail.com for my project purpose. Actually, my basic requirement
is to write a PL/SQL code for retrieving emails from the gmail POP
server for which I want to see the general mail format by telnet
commands. So is there any way by which I can view the contents of the
emails viz. telnet commands or any other way ?

As Gary says, this server requires SSL and that's something Telnet does not
do. I'd say your best bet is to talk to someone at GMail, tell them what
you need to do, and see if they have any recommendations.

When port 995+SSL is involved, not that I know of.
You could try if pop.gmail.com will answer on port 110 (no SSL).
