Thanks Scott. I have checked the port and all seems well. The strange thing is that I seem to not be able to recreate the error message stating that mail cannot verify pop.gmail.com. I understood that message to be a security risk. I will try to set up the account again since I may have been on the right track after all. I deleted the account so I will try to add it again. :)
I had tried to copy the error message to paste in the e-mail but I was unsuccessful Thanks, Christina On Nov 15, 2010, at 4:50 PM, Scott Granados wrote: > Just to add to this, > under advanced I seem to have port 995 set under ports.
