GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
I have been struggling with POPing a gmail account into mail. I have several which work but this one account is having fits.
Tonight I went to the gmail.com URL and signed in and got a screen with a column of links but no inbox.
I was able to view the inbox by using the Edge (Microsoft) 15.15 (Edge HTML) Chrome 52 (Win 10) user agent.
The machine is a WIN 7 Pro 64, AMD A6-6400K @ 3.9GHz
Is my experience solitary? I do not like using the Edge agent, and with the email address not POPing I need to get in and out of the inbox.

Also does not work with Thunderbird. Same results with the added error notice:
"Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
CAN access the browser based inbox with FireFox or Chrome.

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Has POP access been activated for that account on the Gmail settings page?

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Sorry I should have said,
POP has been activated for all mail and IMAP has been activated as well.
I have also shut them off logged out closed the browser, reloaded, setup new email account in the mail program gone to Gmail and turned POP on and then tried (many times now) to POP mail.

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Are the other accounts you speak of also Gmail accounts?
What settings are you using to access that Gmail account?
Server name:
Port # :
User name : (Is it your full name or just the bit before the @ symbol)
Connection Security:
Authentication Method:

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
yes, as stated I have several gmail accounts that POP just fine.
pop.gmail.com
Port 995
fullusername@gmail.com
SSL
normal password
As I am not having an issue with outgoing it really doesn't matter my settings on that end.

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Try changing Connection Security to SSL/TLS.

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
SEAMONKEY only offers SSL/TLS, STARTTLS and NONE as options.
I use SSL/TLS for the other accounts and this one os also set to SSL/TLS

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Is there anybody out there?
Just nod if you can hear me...
Preferrably leave a note saying you don't know what's going on so the responses build tot he point that someone who DOES know what to do notices and responds because
I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

First of all you should update SeaMonkey to latest 2.49.2 version:
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.49.2
Unfortunately, you must do it manually.
Did it help a little?

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
Well here we are April 4 and it still isn't working properly.
nothing tried helped, though Thunderbird (FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER) began functioning for a little while, it still doesn't reliably operate, working some days, not others. I was finally able to download all the backlog of emails through Thunderbird as of yesterday, but today... nothing.
seamonkey (same programming as Thunderbird reallty) is still useless with gmail after working for years and years.
Maybe its time to change to another provider?

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
What version of SeaMonkey are you using? Outdated 2.46? Gmail (web service) detects Firefox 49 and probably is blocking some functions. They can do similar thing for much newer Firefox 52.x (ESR).TheCapnVideo wrote:Well here we are April 4 and it still isn't working properly.
Things to do for you:
1) update SeaMonkey to version 2.49.2,
2) disable Firefox compatibility (they are sniffing User Agent).

Re: GMAIL suddenly does not display inbox
I hear you TPR75 but it will pull down a few emails now and then but I am still WAAAAy behind. It should work or not. Also it wouldn't kill anyone over there to say "update Thunderbird to 52.7.0 (which is up to date and what I am using.) or Seamonkey 2.49.2 (Which I also am using). if that was the case but to kill a thread?
I mean REALLY.
