Foxmail 5 not working with gmail or hotmail ?

Recently my Fox Mail stopped working i was unable to receive or send emails though re-installation did not helped this was the first time i ever got this error after i started using Fox Mail from 3.5 years back, i thought whether something was problem with my operating system then i tried to configure my company account with pop settings the fox-mail worked flawlessly then i came to know that there is something with gmail and foxmail client then i started searching in the google groups in hope of finding answers.

at-last i came to know the answer in one of the google group community since foxmail 5 was released in 1997 by the original author of foxmail since it supports only deprecated SSLv2 and has not updated with latest version of pop protocols either we have to use tunneling proxy program or use Foxmail 6.5 the latest version which is now owned by tencent(foxmail.cn) but fortunately the email client is still free for anyone and can be downloaded at http://fox.foxmail.com.cn/ it comes with great features compared to its predecessor such as IMAP support, themes and many more.

so bottom line Foxmail 5 is dead and cannot be used with much secured gmail just download foxmail 6.5 from http://fox.foxmail.com.cn/ install it close the application go to the (program files)installation folder delete CHINESE.lgb restart the application if you do not delete the chinses.lgb application will be completely in chinese.
