Well, there are two possible issues: - for one, as already mentioned, Arachne is a web browser and not an email client, so it isn't doing POP3 in the first place. Beside that GMail isn't doing "stanard" POP3 (on TCP/110) but POP3 over SSL, which runs on TCP/995 (likewise, SMTP is not using TCP/25, it's SMTP over SSL on TCP/465) - when accessing GMail via a web browser, you are also no longer using standard http (TCP/80) but https over TCP/443. Not sure if Arachne handles https properly (last time I had a look at it, years ago, it didn't) Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
