Question:

Unable to read Gmail emails using IMAP (android email library)

Jun 12 '14 at 10:59

I am trying to use the email library for android. I have written a simple code as follows:

    CkImap imap = new CkImap();

    boolean success;

    // Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day
    // trial.
    success = imap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
    } ....

However it is returning from this point itself. The last error text displayed is:-

     ChilkatLog:
   Connect_Imap:

       ConnectFailReason: DNS lookup failed
     --connect2
     failReason: 2
     connect failed.
   --Connect_Imap
 --ChilkatLog

I am getting this error even when I try to send email using SMTP.    
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks.
