That's what I've done several times, and all it does is ask me to verify the
certificate, which I'm only going to assume is correct, sense to my
understanding the servername for this, naturally would be, pop.gmail.com.
So I just tell it to connect, in which case, it refuses to cooperate with me
no matter how much I remove and set up the acount again.

Hi,
change your account to pop on the gmail site. This way when you set it up
on the Mac, the correct information will be retrieved automatically.

I tried to change it from imap to pop3 so hopefully that wouldn't happen,
but it keeps telling me to verify the account, even though I know the
settings are correct, and still doesn't want to connect to it after I've
done that, and closed out it. I tried removing and re-setting up the
account numerouss times, but nothing worked, and finally gave up, and it's
still only showing me my inbox and nothing else, so not sure what to make
of that.

Well, the main reason I didn't like it, was because when I set up my
gmail acount, it decided to download about 3 months worth or more of
mail that I'd obviously already read, and in trying to delete it all,
and in adition to it telling me "mail busy," every few minuttes or so
from me having to delete over 1000 messages, all this was slowing my
system down, so decided to do away with it.

I agree.
I love the line preview in Mail. And you can always turn it off.

This is interesting and shows just how different we all are. I for one
think that the "reading of bits and pieces of messages", as you put it,
is really helpful. This determines if a message with a not so
explanatory subject line is worth my time or not. This, however is only
me.

I'm currently using that as well, and not sure what I think about it.
I'm not sure if it's unfamiliarity with the system itself, issues with
the OS, or a little of both, but I've kind of been struggling with it.
Perfect example, I just had a friend of mine help me make some changes
to my e-mail settings so I could sort through it easier and not have
it continuously read me bits and pieces of my messages before I'd even
opened them, and now for some reason unknown to me, it's now decided
not to display anything other than my inbox, so I have no idea if my
trash folder has been emptied or not.
I've tried removing and readding the acount, only to have the same
issues, so don't know what to make of that. I haven't really had the
busy signals with Safari all that much, but have it with Mail on a
somewhat regular basis.

I agree with you a zillion percent. I still have lion installed on an
external drive, so try it out from time to time and update it whenever
possible, but for day to day use, I have no plans to ever abandon Snow
Leopard. I'm not an expert using that by any means, but at least it
works more reliably. The only application that seems to read a little
bit better for me under lion is skype, and since I'm not a huge skype
fan in the first place, that's not a big deal. I know it isn't
possible, but I wish I could get my $30 back from lion, and if Lion
had been my first ever mac experience, I definitely would have
returned or tried to sell my macbook.

Subject: Lion, a lemon?
Hi all,
I want to start off this post by saying that I installed Lion the day
it came out on my Macbook Pro. Before doing so, I made a time machine
backup of my Snow Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am
that I did. I tried Lion for a week, and found it to be terribly buggy
and not nearly as intuitive to use as SL. I restored my computer back
to SL, and have continued using it since. Recently, a friend of mine
got a brand new iMac with Lion installed. He has been calling me
asking for help understanding how to do some very simple things. using
the mail program, entering a tun of contacts into his address book,
and using Safari to listen to a webcast he particularly likes. While
we handled mail without much difficulty, I must say that Safari and
Address Book have been riddled with problems. Safari will often give
us the busy signal, and the address book kicks us out of the fields
and deposits us in some sort of no mans land where we must command tab
back and forth to get free. He has updated to Lion 10.7.2, and yet
this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense with creating
multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder if maybe
simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow
leopard full installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his
house and put SL on his machine so that he can actually have a good
experience using his mac rather than the flawed and terribly buggy one
he's been having. That's not to say that SL doesn't have its problems,
but they are far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope that Apple will take
a page from Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS as Microsoft
did from Vista to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon.
I'm curious to know about your experiences with Lion versus Snow
Leopard.
Friendly,
Chris
