724613 2008-12-01 07:23:00 I have three internet mail addresses and has set them all to go into Windows mail. Two work well apart for gmail, I get this message after I receive mail from gmail into my windows mail box.

The host 'pop3.gmail.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Account: 'pop3.gmail.com', Server: 'pop3.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

I have read the google mail help and done every thing as asked,I don't know why I'm getting a error when it working okay :(

Thanks for any help

Bad advice to change your smtp server. It has to be your ISP's smtp server.
