Mailwatch 1.2.0 Plugin Won't Connect to Gmail
My settings
Mailbox Name: ********@gmail.com
IMAP Server
Mail server: imap.gmail.com
Username: ********
Password: ********************************************
Advanced settings
Connection:
Use SSL/TLS via STARTTLS
Use non-standard IMAP port 993
Folders
IMAP server directory: [Gmail]
I can't connect to the Gmail server to set new mail folders or download messages. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Mailwatch 1.2.0 Plugin Won't Connect to Gmail
I've edited your original post and removed your email account information - its not relevant to the issue and you probably don't want to be advertising it
When creating the new account, select the "Remote GMail Mailbox" option instead. Thats what I use and the connection is fine.

Oh. I completely missed that there was a Remote Gmail Mailbox option.

Okay. Now I can't seem to get it to connect to my pop3 account.

Re: Mailwatch 1.2.0 Plugin Won't Connect to Gmail
Is this a new connection that you are trying to make, or has an existing one stopped working?
Can you connect to your pop account using your regular email client?

Re: Mailwatch 1.2.0 Plugin Won't Connect to Gmail
Your provider would have provided you with the pop connection information. Did you enter it all in including the "Advanced..." section (ssl and port if required). If you don't mind sharing, which mail provider are you using?
I have a zoho mail account and can connect via pop and it works with the mail watcher plugin. It required SSL/TLS on an alternate port and that port number is 995 (entered in non-standard port box).

My ISP is Virgin Media (though I started off with NTL World). I switched the account to imap and it works fine with that.
