title: Accessing Gmail accounts from C#
body: <p>I've tried some code I found here: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://www.revenmerchantservices.com/page/read-gmail.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Access Gmail</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am unable to get it to work and get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 209.85.227.109:995</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have POP enabled on all my Gmail accounts.</p>
  
  <p>I can use third party tools like <a href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=0ab7b1be-4f2d-4f30-aa55-f270d53b9c99&amp;bt=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this sidebar gadget</a>, so I don't think port 995 is blocked.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on what I can try next?</p>
