Hello,

I would like to be able to send and receive emails to clients from my website. When I enter  the details below, I get this connection error. I am currently just using a regular Gmail account, am I suppose to be using G suite one? or is this another issue?


"Connection Test Failed! Here is what we got instead:

-3 Temporary failure in name resolution"


Details filled in 

Incoming Mail Server 

Server Type: POP Server
Server Name: imap.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 995
Connection Security: SSL/TLS


Outcoming Mail Server 

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com

Thank you

You need to change the Server Type: POP Server to Server Type: IMAP Server.

Did you also enable your Gmail to allow Less secure apps to login to your Gmail?

Hello James, 

I have switched the server type to IMAP and I have also enabled Gmail to allow less secure apps. 
I have tried both POP and IMAP server but I get the same communication error.

Connection test failed: -3

Temporary failure in name resolution
