Let me introduce a little about myself, I am a fourth year Computer Engineering student from Turkey, and I am supposed to write a POP client as network lecture project, but I am having some trouble with signing in to the pop server, I want to know how to login to gmail's pop server (pop.gmail.com : 995) . I tried to login with username : and password, but it didnt work, i tried only my account name as a username : testiny and my password, again it didnt work, what ' s wrong ? Do I have to encrypt my password then write it to socket? Thank You...
I know that gmail is using ssl, i connected through ssl to gmail pop no problem, but when i am trying to authenticate with my username and password server says "-ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted." I am sure my username and password is correct, and I am sure that i have enabled POP access from gmail control panel, but which is I am not sure is that if is there any something special way to send username and password, like encrypting them and sending, I just send them as usual strings... I am really stuck and did not find anything helpful on google, i dont know how other people did this stuff, I am very need in help
