Accessing an email account

[mthom]

Hi I am having some troubles accessing my gmail account according to the instructions at http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=200

when I go to http://ip address/readmail, i get an error like:
$MAILSERVER="pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl";
$USER = "[email protected]" ;
$PW = "yourpassword" ;
imap_status failed: Too many login failures

I have tried using pop and imap but get the same result.

Any ideas?

Have you enabled POP and IMAP in your gMail account?

I have done them by themselves and both at the same time

hmm. now I am having a different issue
imap_status failed: Can't open mailbox {/notls}: invalid remote specification

I've now gotten everything working including gMail with Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6 as well as 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you're having problems with MailCall, it's probably because you haven't installed the php-imap library for Apache. Reread the MailCall install instructions. Don't skip any steps. Here is the imap install piece, but there's a good bit more to do to set up PBX in a Flash to read you your email.

yum install php-imap
apachectl restart

The mistake in connecting to gMail above might have been due to use of the @ symbol. The correct syntax is shown below. And, remember, that you have to enable POP access in gMail before this will work.

$MAILSERVER="pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl";
$USER = "yourname+gmail.com" ;
$PW = "yourpassword" ;

Thanks you are right I did skip over the php_imap part
However I am still getting the following error:

$MAILSERVER="pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl"; $USER = "account+gmail.com"; $PW = "password";
imap_status failed: Can't open mailbox {/notls}: invalid remote specification

also, should I have pop and imap enabled in gmail or just pop?

Can anyone help me? I would really like to get this to work.
