Hi, Well, you've gotten some good replies. All of them are right online. I'm using gmail with Apple Mail in a pop3 configuration,so I know it can happen. The best advice you got was to follow all the instructions that gmail offers for setting Apple Mail as a client. Also, make sure that once you've gone through all the steps that you "take the account online in Mail." If you're, still, experiencing problems as I did, send yourself a test msg from another account. It seems that gmail doesn't keep msg's around very long. I hadn't checked my gmail account for about a week, during my transition to the Mac, & couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any mail once I set up the account. Wel, for kicks I sent myself a new msg from another account & got it. The next day, I had a stack of new msg's...go figure.
Hope any or all of this helps, CJ On May 6, 2011, at 8:11 AM, Joseph Norton wrote: > Hi list: > > I am trying to set up the Mac Mail program to access Gmail. > > By default, it wants to use IMAP protocol.
