   I have been trying to search the web, the forums, and anything else I can find to get Post by Email working on Wordpress 2.7 or 2.8.

   I am trying to use a Gmail email account.

   There are only three setting imputs so it is a little confusing how it can wrong.

   Username and Password confirmed multiple times.

   pop.gmail.com --> 110
   pop.gmail.com --> 995

   Both the above where tried.. to to be safe.

   2 test emails in inbox with just text..

   When I try to run the /wp-mail.php i get this error... "POP3 quit: connection does not exist"

   I would really really like to use this feature and not sure what to do now.

   thanks,

   I am having the same problem. I have tried what csutoras has done also, am still getting "POP3 quit: connection does not exist".
   Does anyone have a solution?

   It now workd for me you must have the full ssl://pop.gmail.com in the box for it to work not just pop.gmail.com.
   And if you add in an iFrame it will auto-check every 15mins for new mail so u dont have to manually check.

   I ended up installing a plugin to make better use of this function. I have installed Postie and am quite pleased with it thus far.

   i must be hit or miss with this, because ssl://pop.gmail.com with port 995 filled in is still giving me the error. I have read that it may be due the the php.ini settings. However the hosting site doesn't allow that to be customized.
