AI Thread Summary
Connecting to Gmail's POP server using telnet requires the correct port and protocol. The user attempted to connect using telnet pop.gmail.com on ports 110 and 995 but encountered errors, indicating that most POP servers are secured behind SSH daemons, preventing direct telnet access. For proper understanding, it's recommended to read about POP servers and their functionalities. Ultimately, telnet may not be the best tool for accessing POP servers due to security measures. Understanding the underlying protocols will aid in better preparation and usage.

Here is sth relatable. But I am not sure what should I type in along with telnet to connect to gmail pop server?

I tried telnet pop.gmail.com 110

and telnet pop.gmail.com 995
but both of them didn't worked. One showed could not connect error message. Another didn't showed any output and instead took cmd to refresh on administrator.
Any guide here? I just want to understand what these commands are doing so that I can prepare my notes with confidence. Thanks for support.

Most POP servers are behind SSH daemons and so you can't just telnet in.

I wouldn't waste your time on this, just read about what a POP server does on Wikipedia and move on.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
