Sorry, but I hate Mail. Nearly everything about it. Especially the colour! Pale blue - ew! And I not fond of webmail either.
But I do not mind Gyazmail - which I haven't attempted to configure yet! Can't wait. ;-) Anyway, the weird thing here, Chris, is that my new ISP absolutely cannot do SSL - they were adamant about it. And so, when I finally figured out how to configure Mail to send using [EMAIL PROTECTED], it was with SSL unchecked. And it works. So, I doubt that Gmail does require it. That being so, why can't I configure CE (P3)?
