I'm learning a little about pine after downloading it (pine 4.64). I can't seem to get it to work, though. It can't open the inbox -- it sits there (as the little slash mark rotates) but after a while it stops and can't make the connection, with a message saying that "connection to gmail.pop....(something) failed, operation timed out.) It also tried to open the inbox as soon as I opened pine.

I can't send mail either. it says "error sending. connection to gmail.smtp.msa.l.google.com,25 Operation timed out."

I've checked to configuration settings and I think I've got everything correct. Anyone else have these problems? How does one download messages from gmail and what exactly do I enter in the incoming server option
