Google desktop and Port 995

Quote from Bsulli:

Yes, just having the email client open on your desktop may not keep 995 open. Generally if it uses 995 it will only use it during sent/recieving of emails then close the port. Open the tcpview program click send/recieve or send an email to yourself with an attachment large enough to stay in send mode for 20 seconds or so to see if it shows up. If it not using it then try the archivig with Google again and see if it tries to open 995. If it opens it for a split second then fails it might be ZA. At that point shutdown ZA briefly and try Google again. If it goes that time then ZA is the issue.

Good luck, nothing more frustration then chasing ip port issues.

Excellent, I will try all of this either later tonight or tomorrow night. I was sitting there watching the list generated by tcpview changing second by second and realizing that my computer is more active than I realized. Thanks for tracking the progress here. I will post when I have more info.

if you have been surfing the web then you will see ports opening closing and in listening states. Close all of your browsers and the open ports related to browsing will eventually time out and close. Can take you to five minutes or more. At that point you should only see a very minimual number of ports open and most of those should only be open on the local side. Additionally once your idle for a while you shouldn't be seeing ports opening and closing unless you got spyware or some app running in the background that might or might not be phoning home. Antivirus programs, etc.

Good luck
