This was brought up previously on the 9th: https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2012-August/thread.html#4141 Thread name is "IMAP at GMAIL seems down". ...where you even commented in the thread: https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2012-August/004147.html The TCP ports you're testing are non-SSL (plaintext) versions of the IMAP and POP3 protocols. Try the SSL versions instead (993 and 995 respectively), just like you did in the previous thread. Seems fine: $ telnet imap.gmail.com 993 Trying 209.85.225.109... Connected to gmail-imap.l.google.com. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> close Connection closed. $ telnet pop.gmail.com 995 Trying 209.85.225.109... Connected to gmail-pop.l.google.com. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> close Connection closed. My advice: stop complaining and instead switch to the SSL versions already. Why keep causing yourself grief given the recurring nature of this problem? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
