Hi Jim,

I believe that Gmail *requires* SSL to connect, I don't think it's  a
privoxy issue.

I connect to http://gmail.google.com, which seems to redirect to an
https:// link, from there on it's straight in.

Gmail also works fine using SSL and Thunderbird via my squid & privoxy
combination.

Cheers, Dave
