Let me provide some additional information on my problem.  I have
configured my Gmail account to accept less secure app.  I am trying to use
Gmail's POP3, not IMAP.  I have, under Advanced, Ports set to 587 for SMTP
and 995 for POP, which is what I see from Gmail when looking for ports to
use with POP.  I have SSL/TLS setting at POP - use SSL/TLS and SMTP Use
STARTTLS command to start encrypted session.  (I get the same error if I
have SMTP set to Use SSL/TLS.)

The error message I get when I try to retrieve mail is:
"Account 'acountname at gmail.com': Connecting to POP3 server:
pop.gmail.com:995...

Appreciate any help you can give.
