    I am sending an email through my GMail account to post an entry to my blog. Everything is in working order but I’ve found that there are many manual line breaks.

    I changed my outgoing messages to have the utf-8 encoding, hoping that it would remedy the problem.

    I know Google does this by default. But does anyone know a hack to clear the formatting of those line breaks? Thanks in advance and appreciate the help.

  • i have tried setting this up for gmail, could you possibly post an exmple of settings that you use? i’ve used both the incoming and outgoing information they give you but neither of them work, i still get POP3 connect errors when i go to wp-mail.php

    got the same errors,
    some help would be appreciated

    I read somewhere – sorry I don’t remember where – that saying g-mail require secure connection, so gmail does not work with WP.

    Can you try to sending email from your site? I use cPanel and found that @ sign does not work, but use + sign instead. Working beautifully now.

    Not: [email protected] but try to use name+site.tld

    well cpanel is no where involved in my pop3 connect so i guess it should be some other problem

    still having pop3 connect error

    You have to enter ssl://pop.gmail.com in the server.
    Your port should be 995.

    Does anybody know how to solve the initial problem? I tried using both gmail and my company email and wordpress insists on putting in line breaks in my posts. It pretty much makes this feature worthless so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I am using a gmail account to post to my blog via e-mail, but it isn’t working … I’ve entered ssl://pop.gmail.com as the server, and Port 995.
    I keep getting this error:
    POP3 connect: Error [110] [Connection timed out]

    Yea, same as internetgenius:

    POP3 connect: Error [110] [Connection timed out]

    Using ssl://pop.gmail.com
    [email protected]
    password

    I have turned on POP access in Gmail settings.
