port 995 is simply might be closed

[sandra_1404]

how can i understand if it real closed? and how can i make it open?

'Closed' - means that there is no any service, running at this port, or access to it is denied by firewall (for example if you have remote login service at server, It's quite clever that access is only allowed from internal network, not Internet). Only server administrator could open it (if we are not talking about some kind of backdoor leaved by hackers ). Regular clients are only allowed to establish connections on already opened ports ) What are you looking for at port 995?...)

I would like to receive my e-mails from google mail server.There is no firewall on my computer, but i think you are right and i need to connect to my admin to fix this problem.

Just try to search some info in help section on gmail - all port/server info must be present there
