When I first got my gMail account a couple weeks ago I tried the little menulet <A HREF=http://www.lloydslounge.org/gee/>[color:TEAL]<U>GEE</U></FONT></A> to automatically check my gMail account for incoming messages, but it kept flaking out on me so I ditched it.<br><br>I decided to have a look for a Dashboard widget to automatically check my gMail account. I chose to try <A HREF=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gotmailg/>[color:TEAL]<U>"gotMailG"</U></FONT></A> (from Sourceforge.net, and listed on Apple's Widgets directory) and haven't been able to get it to work.<br><br>Any thoughts? What's been working for you with your gMail account to automatically check Incoming Mail status?<br><br>

Ehh, maybe I should try Mail again, since bouncing up to 10.4. I didn't really like the first version.<br><br>

I have 3 different accounts set up in Thunderbird, Steven.<br><br>Hmm...I never even thought to see if I could set up another account to check on gMail's incoming messages automatically.<br><br>Ummm, do you have any idea if it's possible before I go off and running on a wild goose chase?<br><br>

You can either have thunderbird actually check the Gmail server, or you can have Gmail forward a copy of all mail to another address.<br><br><br><br>CreativeGuy: For your "fix" of design software tips, tricks & commentary.

I tried for a few minutes and couldn't get the gMail account I set up in Thunderbird (following Google's Windows-centric Help page instructions) to retrieve any test messages.<br><br>I'll futz with it when I have more time and patience.<br><br>
