Re: cannot login Gmail account - bad connection
Welcome to the PP Forums, alexren!
Sorry to hear of the problem you are experiencing. The 'Bad Connection' error message indicates that PopPeeper is not able to connect with the server at all. To get started, I have a couple of questions for you:
1. Are you able to log-in to the Gmail account on-line without any problems?
* (If you are logged-in to your Gmail account on-line automatically, be sure to first log-out, then log back in).
2. Are you trying to log-in to the account using a VPN?
You may want to consider utilizing the IMAP protocol to access your Gmail account(s). IMAP is generally considered to be a better method to use. For instructions on how to set-up your Gmail account(s) to use IMAP, please have a look at the info shown at the link below:
