Can't download POP email from GMail - HELP!!!!

Just upgraded to a Macbook Pro from a 1.67Ghz G4 Powerbook.
I've set my Macbook up from scratch with a completely new install and no matter what I do I CANNOT get Mail to download my POP email from GMail.
I've deleted and completely reinstalled the account, set up a new user account and tried that, stopped the POP in GMail and renabled it and all I get is the lightning symbol for a problem with the account.
Outgoing mail goes fine.
I'm tearing my hair out. I fired my Powerbook up and it worked fine so it's definitely something on here....

I'm embarassed to say that I had put the SMTP server port number in as the POP server port which explains why it didn't work.
After 3 years of supporting people using macs I should know better but it just shows that if you think you've done everything right you can stare straight past something....
Thanks for the help and sorry for being such a dimwit....

BlackBerry Curve is only downloading POP email from Comcast if it is sent from the BB itself.

So far I have been able to receive POP email from Comcast under one condition: if I send it from my BB itself.
I've tried sending from countless other accounts. I've missed emails coming in from other places. I don't leave Outlook or any other client open and all the messages are still on the Comcast server.
I've seen many questions like this in various forums but most of the threads trail off without resolutions.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

RESOLVED
Almost ten calls to Verizon tech support, several hours on the phone, hours Googling and posting in forums and finally, five minutes after the Verizon rep asked me to hold while he contact BlackBerry support, the problem is solved.
I hope this helps someone else out:
Options -> Security -> Firewall -> Uncheck 'BlackBerry Internet Service'
Last night I thought I had fixed the problem as I was able to receive email from all addresses I sent from. A new problem appeared though: the phone would not ring or vibrate when the email was received, regardless of profile settings. I'm not sure what combination of events got me to this point.
I resent service books, pulled the battery, and the phone returned to the problematic behavior I was seeing in the first place:
* Could only receive emails that were sent from email accounts that had already been added to the phone.
* Data transmissions indicators (arrows in the top-right) flashed when received email from other accounts but email did not arrive.
At first I thought the problem was Yahoo/Google/Comcast until I tried sending email to my BlackBerry using a Comcast account which had not been added.
This certainly was frustrating but I'm glad to have the problem resolved.

How do I re-download my emails from Gmail?

I suffered a disk failure (XP SP3) and have now re-loaded an old copy of my full system including Thunderbird - it is working fine. I have then "marked" my recent emails in GMail as "Unread" and placed them in its Inbox, but they do not download. I do not see an option in Thunderbird Server Settings for POP to re-download. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

When you setup an email account with POP they are not usually left on the server. It is IMAP accounts that sync mail with the server. If you email is saved on the gmail webmail, you can setup your email account with IMAP on Thunderbird and the gmail messages will download to Thunderbird.

I can't send pop email from the iPad.

I can receive but not send email through a POP account on the iPad.

Great. thanks for sharing. Now do you have a question or are you just blurting out random sentences?

Which Email app are you using?

I have an apple ID, I'm trying to use this to update and download apps etc. however, whenever I try this, it keeps asking me to use my old ID, which is attached to an email that no longer exists! I can't download or update anything! Help!

You can log out of the currently logged in account by taping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log back in.
If you updated your existing account with a new email address then that shoud 'refresh' it on it
If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can redownload its content and download updates to its apps. You should be able to update an account's email address via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and i can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and I can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help? I can find the mail folder in my libraries, but the Restore Button is grayed out

OSX treats the reformatted drive as a different one; it's the same as replacing it, and the old one is no longer connected.
See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see and restore from the "old" drive.
And, you may not want to restore via the Finder; see the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Can't get emails from gmail

Hi,
I'm using Exim and Dovecot as email servers.
Recently, I've got complaints, that the server is not getting emails from Gmail.
I've made a few tests and found that all emails that coming from Gmail are blocked somewhere.(only from Gmail)
I must say, that the problem is only to receive email from Gmail, there's no problem sending to Gmail.
Here's the error code that Gmail returned to the sender:

How do I put my iPhone stored items into my iCloud storage?i have bought an upgrade but none of my phones stored items have moved to iCloud.i can't download new update from apple. due to not enough and yet iCloud space is empty??please help I don't know what I doing all I know is my phone is iPhone 4 and I can't update it. My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.
