Gmail – Retrieve Emails via POP3 from Non-Standard Gmail

gmailpop3

I have my primary account through Gmail (example@gmail.com) and another email account (something@somewhere.com). This second account is part of a Google Apps service on a third-party domain (and therefore is owned by said third party). I want to be able to receive these emails in my primary account. Normally, between two Gmail accounts you would just be able to use "Grant access to your account" option. However, the Google Apps-based account only allows this feature to be used by accounts on the same domain. So I'm attempting to use POP3 with the settings:

Email: something@somewhere.com
Username: something (also tried something@somewhere.com)
Password: password
Pop Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 995

But this always results in:

Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
Server returned error: "[AUTH] Username and password not accepted."

I've tried several variations of POP servers and ports and still no success.

Any recommendations?

Gmail pop settings are as follows:

Email: something@somewhere.com
Username: something@somewhere.com
server: pop.googlemail.com
port: 995

another thing, you need to login first to something@somewhere.com gmail's web interface, and enable pop3 access to it, otherwise you will not be able to access it through pop, you will find it in the settings.
