I followed both of Matthias' suggestions. I have even set up another Gmail account. I can send email via Gmail from PowerMail, but when I check mail nothing comes in. POP mail is on for both Gmail accounts, Gmail POP worked using Apple Mail on another computer.
And as I noted earlier, PowerMail only acknowledges checking 2 accounts when it checks for mail (although it in fact receives mail for 3 other accounts besides the 2 Gmail accounts, so it should say checking mail for 5 accounts). I also could not get Gmail POP to work on a backup copy of PowerMail on another computer. However, when I set up a new user environment on the other computer, with one Gmail account as the only account, it worked. So, there is something in my current PowerMail user environment which is not letting Gmail get checked. Any thoughts on fixing this? - Winston MB wrote: >Matthias Schmidt said: > >>so my guess is there's something wrong with your setting in PM. >>I'd suggest you to delete the account in PM and also to delete any entry >>related to that account in your keychain. >>When you did that, recreate the account and double check, while entering >>the password. > >I second that opinion.
