Error: 111 could not connect

Hi, first thanks for the time.

Im getting this error:

Error: 111 could not connect to the host "pop.gmail.com": Connection refused

Im trying this on a server provided by Hostgator.com . I just asked them if they are blocking port 995 (as i saw in another thread here). But, im posting this if its not. Here are my variables for the test class.

$pop3=new pop3_class;
$pop3->hostname="pop.gmail.com";
$pop3->port=995;
$pop3->tls=1;
$user="USER@gmail.com";
$password="USERPASS";
$pop3->realm="";
$pop3->workstation="";
$apop=0;
$pop3->authentication_mechanism="USER";
$pop3->debug=1;
$pop3->html_debug=1;
$pop3->join_continuation_header_lines=1;

Thanks in advance.

Refused connections can either mean you are using the wrong port or server address, or there is some firewall blocking the connections.

The server address and port are correct. So I am afraid your hosting company is blocking outgoing 995 port.

Yes, they just opened port 995 at Hostgator.com . Thanks anyways.
