Checked with Google Groups Gmail and found that it had been down for many
folks for most of the day. It is up for me now. this is the first time
that I have had a problem, at least for a long period. It is a problem as
I forward all of my mail accounts through my Google account.

I tried it once and I couldn't connect and then I tried it again a
couple of minutes later and it worked. So there was probably a
transient network problem at my end or their's.

I was using Pegasus which isn't in the help page buf it's easy enough
to figure it out from the instructions for another client program. You
need to use port 995 and SSL. Also, once you're connected, you have to
use the POP3 command "user username@gmail.com" whereas most POP3
servers use "user username"

I've been using Nerdshack.com which allows you to use port 110 for
POP3 and port 25 (auth login) for SMTP. They also allow you to use
alternate ports. (995 SSL POP and 3535 SMTP) They're going to have
webmail REAL SOON NOW but there;s already at least one or two third
party free POP3-to-webmail systems and many webmail systems will
import POP3 mail from elsewhere.

Recently their SMTP server has been blocked by SORBS because one of
their users used it to spam spamtrap addresses. While they got rid of
the spammer they say SORBS wants a $45 "contribution" to get rid of
the listing and, being a volunteer organization which doesn't make use
of the usual money making mehods of free mail services they don't have
a lot of spare $45's floating around.

Did you know - "From: "Just Me" <justme@nospam.com>" - that "nospam.com"
is a domain registered to real people, and you are abusing it?

Never use a real domain name in a munge. Use:
example.com/.net/.org/.invalid
instead, which are reserved for the purpose.
