Server Problem

Connections to the server “imap.gmail.com” on the default ports timed out.

How do I fix this problem? It happens every day.

If these are your settings, then maybe other...


  • Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
  • Gmail SMTP username: Your full Gmail address (for example, example@gmail.com)
  • Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password
  • Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587
  • Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465
  • Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes


Other...

It may just need an App Password separate from the gMail password…
