The best I can tell I am using the settings explained by gmail. Here goes what I am doing.
I am going to mail preferences, then accounts, then add new account. I enter my name in the "full name" field I enter [email protected] (I put the actual new e-mail address but it's a private address and I don't want to post here smiles) I enter my gmail password Then I click continue. Next screen: I select pop for server type Incoming server is pop.gmail.com username: [email protected] (I've tried both with and without the "@gmail.com") Then I enter password then I click continue Next screen: I check the check box for use SSL For Authentification I select password Then I click continue Next screen: in the smpt server smpt.gmail.com is entered Use authentification is checked [email protected] is entered for username and then I entered the password Then I click continue Next screen: Use SSl is checked and password is selected for authentification Then I click continue Next Screen: this screen has the summarery I check the checkbox to take online Then I click create I seem to be able to send a message from my new gmail address using apple mail but I cannot seem to get any. I've also encountered the strange error message stating that applemail cannot verify the server pop.gmail.com.
