Connecting via SSL for Gmail API

0 votes

Hi there,

I am able to get the access token and refresh token etc, but I cannot connect over SSL. I keep getting:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond 173.194.72.108:993

The code i have looks like this once i have the token:

using (Imap imap = new Imap())
{
    imap.ConnectSSL("imap.gmail.com");
    imap.LoginOAUTH2(user, accessToken);

It fails in the "ConnectSSL" method with the error. Its so frustrating. Ive done the hard yards with various tokens. What could be wrong?

Your code is correct. The resolved IP (173.194.72.108) belongs to Google.

Which means that the problem is your firewall/router/AV software that is blocking the connection.

Does your application have enough permissions to create a remote connection?
Does your code work on your local machine/machine in different network?
