#217204 - 02/17/05 12:05 PM Did you manage to set-up gMail POP on Mail.app?
iraszl Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/21/02 Posts: 6182 Loc: Bahrain	I followed the help and set up everything correctly, but Mail just doesn't want to start downloading the gMail. Also, what I find weird is that in the gMail settings/Forwarding and POP I switch on the radio button which says: Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded) and save the changes, but when i return to these settings, none of the three radio buttons are selected? Any help would be appreciated.<br><br> _________________________ Check out my sites on ads and design.

Bryan Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/04 Posts: 8099	That's it. If you go back to it, none of the buttons will be pushed, but it will say above it that it is been enabled. <br><br>Also, I'm sending and receiving e-mail through Mozilla with Gmail just fine, using their server both ways. I also have my Panther Firewall full up. Looks like there's no issue after all. <br>

Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 19065 Loc: Arizona	I find it easier to just forward the gmail to another email address I have so that I have a copy on my computer, and the gmail inbox.<br><br> _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.
