I use Gmail for one of my boxes, but can someone tell me why I constantly
have to tell my Mac to accept the email when I restart the computer and or the
mail program? It keeps telling me permissions aren't something or other. I
can't remember exactly and don't feel like restarting at the moment.
Many email providers have changed their POP, IMAP, SMTP security
settings over the past year or so. These are the ones I use in TBird for
GMail, from GMail help pages:
POP - port 995; security setting SSL
SMTP - port 587; secure connection TLS
I had a lot of trouble before I switched the GMail security settings
[after Yahoo! changed their settings]. Increasing security by changing
settings made problems go away.
Also, I can use any one of the outgoing servers for all my email. When I
use Verizon SMTP, it works OK. With Yahoo! I have to verify any outside
email addresses first, then all email goes out OK. With GMail, any email
I send out is automatically changed to the GMail address, even if I use
Verizon, Yahoo!, eKit or other email address when creating the message.
