It's one thing to say you "followed all the instructions for settings," it's quite another to tell us exactly what those settings are. I'm not being flip - a client of mine once insisted he'd followed online instructions to the letter, but when I asked for a screen shot of Mail's account settings, it turned out he'd made a couple of errors. I should also point out that Mail 3.0 is out of date for your OS. I can't recall which version number it was last upgraded to since I'm using Snow Leopard and Mail 4.2, but there were definitely several free updates to Mail 3.0. -- Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Make money while saving money <http://www.bign.com/mrosenberg>

You left out: Is SSL on? Are you using port 993? Are you using your full gmail address, with the @gmail.com part, as your user name? -- Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Make money while saving money <http://www.bign.com/mrosenberg> |
