I've been using my two Gmail accounts with Simplemail 0.38 successfully for about 2 years now, over the last two days I receive intermittent errors, and now it totally won't connect at all.

From Monday I got "Unable to Connect to server.pop.gmail.com" a few times in a row, clicking Fetch and it would fetch them eventually.

Now it will just show this error and not download any emails in last 24 hours, just Error 84/84 the same now.

Has anyone else had the problem, maybe Google changed some settings.

It seems they have just installed a new ssl cert there, so perhaps that one isn't supported by SimpleMail. Fails for me as well.

Damn, any solution? I rely on Simplemail for most of my email uses :/ Does it affect YAM too?

I saw this on slashdot earlier.

So it looks like a change at their end then, is there anything we can do or do I basically have to abandon Simplemail in the hope that one day the author will update it again? I'm back to using Outlook on my Windows PC now, very depressing.

I've noticed gmail failing intermittently on my iPhone too over the last week, very annoying.

I don't know how Simplemail works, but I wonder if it is possible to use the CA Certs file from Odyssey with it somehow?

To check the SSL connection I tried

Code:

This gives me

Code:

I downloaded the OWB ca-bundle.crt and tried

Code:

So using this bundle could be the solution, but I also don't know how to install this bundle. According to
http://www.warp1337.com/content/adding-additional-ssl-certificate-default-ca-bundle-ssl-certificate-chain-verification-ca
it should also be possible to install all certificates by hand in the format <hexnumber>.0 in the amissl:certs directory. The above commands gave me also
Code:
I found the cert for GeoTrust Global CA but not Equifax Secure Certificate Authority.

Is this Perl script any use for you?

Solution: Just use the AmigaOS Version 0.39, this one works.

I can confirm this. Weird.

Nice find ciVic! 68K version working fine here, just swapped the executable file over and it loaded all my settings and mails in, seems no different otherwise.

Wonder why OS4/68K/AROS got an update to version 0.39 yet MorphOS is still on 0.38, looks like that version is no longer compatible with google.

> Wonder why OS4/68K/AROS got an update to version 0.39

AROS is even further behind (0.37) than MorphOS, according to http://simplemail.sourceforge.net/index.php?body=downloads at least.

> yet MorphOS is still on 0.38

The SimpleMail team only compiles for OS3 and OS4. The AROS versions are usually compiled by Mazze, and the MorphOS versions are usually compiled by Henes. Now you know who to ask :-)

Ah understand now.

To be honest, I can't tell any performance differences between the 68K and MorphOS native port anyway, seems to work flawlessly.

Ok this was working until Grunch updated me to the new Simplemail 0.40 and all three of my Gmail accounts are no longer connecting again, even with the 68K version. Is 0.40 broken with Gmail for everyone? Any way to redownload 0.39?

Thanks, working fine again with that!

SimpleMail 0.40 68k does work here, but MorphOS version doesn't. The difference between the two is that 68k version uses amissl v3 while MorphOS version uses amissl v1. The reason for v1 for MorphOS port is that amissl v3 is buggy and trashes memory and thus isn't used in MorphOS port. I haven't digged out if amissl is still maintained and could it be fixed... that would be nice.

I myself have been suspecting memory trashing with 68k version since autumn when I had to change to it when MorphOS version stopped working with gmail. For example OWB crashes pretty quickly after using SimpleMail 68k to gmail. Anyone else getting "Assertion failed errors" with OWB? I seem to get those only after running SimpleMail 68k... so, I've started to reboot after checking mails nowadays.. I wish there would be some new breed to email clients ;)

A solution could be to ditch amissl and build a simplemail version using openssl.
It is opensource, so anyone can feel free to implement the necessary changes
