I have never had any trouble with imap, but then again, I have a very fast internet connection and a fully loaded MBP. Of course, I never had imap trouble on my very old Windows desktop either. -Joshua On Nov 15, 2010, at 7:04 PM, Jim Fettgather wrote: > On 11/15/2010 8:21 PM, Tom Frank wrote:

I ran mail in pop/smtp mode for a long time with gmail. that was fine, but didn't give me direct access to some of the other folders (like spam). I use imap mode as its a bit more real time and I don't have to store all those mails locally. I can, however, see a reason for pop. most people don'

Hi there, My son the computer engineer helped me yesterday. He had to clear out all of my preferences because they had become corrupted. Make sure you have Mail also set up to receive POP mail. I originally had Gmail set up as an IMAP acount and it gave me nothing but problems. Bottom line;

Try closing your apple mail entirely then reopening it. I'll bet you will see that error again. Accept the cert and I bet it will work. On Nov 15, 2010, at 4:02 PM, Christina wrote: > Thanks Scott. I have checked the port and all seems well. The strange thing > is that I seem to not be able

Thanks Scott. I have checked the port and all seems well. The strange thing is that I seem to not be able to recreate the error message stating that mail cannot verify pop.gmail.com. I understood that message to be a security risk. I will try to set up the account again since I may have been

Just to add to this, under advanced I seem to have port 995 set under ports. I think that's the default for secure pop but not 100% certain you may want to check that. On Nov 15, 2010, at 2:58 PM, Christina wrote: > The best I can tell I am using the settings explained by gmail. > > Here goes

When you get that message just accept the certificate and you should be good to go. Also check under advanced I believe it is and insure the correct ports are being used. The gmail configuration tips has the propper ports. On Nov 15, 2010, at 2:58 PM, Christina wrote: > The best I can tell I

I do not have any understanding as to the difference between the two of them. I do not know what pop is or what imap is. However, I was going by the example of what someone had set up for me on another gmail account. On Nov 15, 2010, at 3:45 PM, Joshua Loya wrote: > Out of curiosity, why did

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to go with pop3, as opposed to imap? There might be a good reason to do so, but I can't think of one. -Joshua On Nov 15, 2010, at 2:12 PM, Christina wrote: > I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am trying to add a gmail account to > apple mail and it jus
