Google Hosted Email Problem ..

Another problem from Google, but unlike before this time i can’t access one of my hosted email account at Google using POP3 .. and can’t send email via SMTP access. Although the other hosted email account works fine without problem.

Here’s what the error message looks like :

POP Access

19:56:13.671671 Resolve OK pop.gmail.com: 64.233.167.111, 64.233.167.109

19:56:18.140140 PASS FAIL Empty mode: +OK [SYS/TEMP] Due to a temporary system problem, this mailbox will seem empty.

From the above log, you can see eventhough there’s a new message in my email account, but when accessed via pop .. it’ll always think that there’s no new message / no message at my email account

And here’s the SMTP access log :

While the above smtp log, give me an infinite loop that ask me to insert my password although i’ve inserted it correctly .. well .. it’s not infinite actually, because it’s terminated on 3rd attempt or 4th attempt (i can’t remember the actual value) ..

So if you get the same error message from your hosted email account the only solution is … wait for the Google team to fix this problem .. lol .. well actually i just reported this problem to the Google team, because the other hosted email account is works fine without problem except for one of my hosted email account ;)
