Problem
i'm trying to connect my app to Gmail to check emails. I must use SSL for POP3. This is my code: ``` Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.host", "pop.gmail.com"); props.put("mail.store.protocol", "pop3s"); props.put("mail.pop3s.auth", "true"); props.put("mail.pop3s.port", "993"); Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null); Store store=session.getStore(); store.connect("myuser@gmail.com","mypass"); ``` And I get this error: ``` Exception in thread "main" javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed; nested exception is: java.io.IOException: Unexpected response: * OK Gimap ready for requests from x.x.x.x.x z50if25691877wef.13 at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store.protocolConnect(POP3Store.java:210) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:295) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:176) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:196) ``` I think this has a good new: the gmail server answered, however... seems to answer in a bad way for javamail.
