Now that is hip. I definitely didn't get anything like that, smiles.
Oh and of course the docs don't say anything about it.

Hello Erik,
Here are step-by-step instructions on setting up Apple Mail to use your
gmail account.
1) Set up a new account by selecting the Accounts pane in the Toolbar of
Mail Preferences.
Navigate down past the table and click on the New Account button.
Details:
Account Description: Google Mail or something similar. This is intended
just to tell you what the account is and does.
Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Full Name: what you want to appear in the headers of your messages to
others,
Incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com
User Name: your full Google address… e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password: whatever you've set on the Google website.
2) Click on the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up button (usually "None" by
default). Navigate down to Edit Server List and press Return..
Navigate right to the Add button, and click it.
Navigate right until you hear "Account Information" (Selected), then
right to "Description" (Edit Text)
Type in a mnemonic (e.g. "smtp for Google").
Below this, fill in Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
If you are stuck in this box, stop interacting.
3) Navigate left and click on the Advanced tab.
Navigate right and fill in Server Port: 587
Right again to "Use Secure Sockets Layer" checkbox: tick it
Right again: set "Authentication" (pop-up button) to Password.
User Name: full Google address again, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password: once again, the password you set on the Google website.
Click on OK
4) Click on the Advanced tab (To get to this, do VO-Shift-Home, then
navigate right.)
Check that the Port: field is set to 995 and the Use SSL checkbox ticked.
Ensure the Authentication (pop-up button) is set to Password.
5) Close Preferences and say "Yes" to "Save changes" dialogue.
6) On the Gmail website, log in and then click on the Settings link in
the top right-hand corner. Click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP link that
comes up.
7) Click on the "Enable POP for all mail" radio button. Then click on
Save Changes (below), then SIgn Out (top right-hand corner).
8) TIP: If you can get sighted help, do so as this site crashes both
VoiceOver and Safari!
And within a couple of minutes, Apple Mail should connect and grab any
undeleted mail that's on the Gmail server!
Cheers,
Anne
