Hi! I think you might want to doublecheck the port number. I can't remember, but I think the default is 993 and it needs to be 995, or perhaps it's the other way around. Either way, I know that pop3 and Gmail work great on the mac because I set up a little Gmail address just for practice purposes. I still prefer to get email from my primary address on the PC for now. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
