SSL Settings that are incorrect
Another user had similar issues receiving the emails. He was unable to receive the emails and also received the error warning that imap.gmail.com isn’t responding.
This issue is often caused by an SSL error that is missing from the account. Users may allow SSL instead of installing it inside the server at times. The mail account had been unable to post a mail as it was unable to establish a safe connection.
The issue can be fixed by making adjustments to the settings of SSL inside mail client, such as the SSL authentication options and port.
