I looked at those instructions and also at setting up mutt, which I currently use. Clear as mud. After scratching my head for several minutes, I really wanted to scrap my Gmail account altogether, but it might screw up some other stuff I do with Google. I very rarely use Gmail, and I do know how to access Gmail via web browser. So I commented the Gmail stanza out of my .fetchmailrc and I'll use web browser to access Gmail. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
