I've been having the same problem with gmx, and here is the problem:

Solution: get the latest one...

How I've done this:
* backup everything except root  intermediate addressbooks
* uninstall while keeping mail
* delete 'rootca.abd' and 'intermca.abd'
* reinstall
* restore

Likewise. The TB-related traffic on tbbeta is already as much as I can bear.

 But I would be interested to hear what Gmail replies to your email.

Likewise. FWIW, this problem is not just confined to POP3. You notice
it also when you use the Web interface. So I first encountered it
about a month ago and complained to the Gmail support staff at that
time. I also submitted a wish to Google a few days ago that they
either change the behavior or at least provide an option to change the
behavior.

As I see it, Google's argument about a cluttered Inbox fails on two
points. (1) Google keeps reminding you that you have 1Gb space and you
don't need to worry about deleting anything. So why should users worry
about a few duplicate messages? (2) Gmail provides filters and an
efficient anti-spam engine that are quite effective at reducing
clutter of the Inbox.

Having said all that, I can almost live with the way Google has this
set up. Almost. What disturbs me the most is the fact that threading
of messages gets confused. A private reply to mailing list message
gets muddled in with a public reply. This could lead to unfortunate
events. :-) And while I do get a notice from Google if a message I
send to a mailing list is not received by the list, Google would
probably not be able to inform me that my message never appeared on
the list if it is a moderated list and my message was not approved by
the moderator.

So I am also not a happy camper on this point. I am getting by with
the occasionally muddled threading in Google's Web interface and
making do with some Outgoing Mail filters in TB. It is not entirely
satisfactory, but it is not so bad either - a relatively small
inconvenience (hopefully temporary) to endure while reaping the
numerous benefits

 BTW, I do not think Gmail AND TB are OT. It may well belong to TBUDL,
 because there are certainly others experiencing the same problems
 (e.g. ports, not receiving copies etc.).

Likewise. Right now it looks like Gmail could be the wave of the
future. I expect that a significant percentage of TB users will have
Gmail accounts and that this percentage will go on increasing for a
while. So it is essential that TB support Gmail and do it smoothly. It
is disappointing that there are no direct instructions for configuring
TB for POP3 in the Gmail help. It was a bit confusing at first,
because the general instructions did not correspond neatly with the
interface of TB.

Dear Thorvald,

Going back 08:17 19.11.2004...

 Port 587 works with STARTTLS and TLS works with 465. I am not sure
 why.

Because they conform to the RFCs. 587 is the mail submission port
that must provide STARTTLS and AUTH, and 465 is the (legacy)
sSMTP/SMTP-over-SSL port that works with SSL from the beginning of the
connection.

Cheers,

Tony, I don't need to back you up. My complaint is already on file

petitioning like that. I am sure that a lot of people have complained
on this point, not just a few TB users.

I read it. My arguments are already on file with Gmail. But if you are
still in correspondence with Google on this subject, feel free to use
my arguments as if they are your own. :-)

  So it is essential that TB support Gmail and do it smoothly.
 
 I believe it should be the other way round, gmail should support all mail
 clients, not just the rubbish ones.

Google states clearly that an email client will only be supported if
the client supports SMTP authentication. That is the only restriction
that I saw. But the general instructions for configuration did not
tally directly with the TB interface. That makes me wonder whether the
terminology used in our TB interface is standard. TB works with Gmail,
but it requires more savvy than it should to make that happen. This is
all that I was saying here. Think of it as another documentation
complaint.

The reason why I said it is essential that TB support Gmail and do it
smoothly is simply because of the number of TB users who are likely to
have Gmail accounts in the future and who will want to use TB to
access Gmail. It is Ritlabs' choice, of course, but I think the
alternative is to handle an unnecessary and costly support load of
translating the instructions on the Gmail server to each TB user with
Gmail. I expect that TB could even lose some prospective customers -
people who download the shareware, test it out on their Gmail account,
fail to find an easy way to configure TB, and abandon TB for something
that seems to work better. Think of this as a marketing suggestion.

Still waiting for a reply from them but thank you.

 TB works with Gmail, but it requires more savvy than it should to make

Not sure what problems you had configuring TB! but I found following the
instructions for Other (As in other email clients) very easy to follow
and they worked first time. I think the major problem is knowing what the
difference is between SSL and STARTTLS. They're not the usual settings or
ports used by normal ISP type servers that people are used to.

 This is all that I was saying here. Think of it as another documentation
 complaint.

And I believe that the documentation for setting up TB! should be on the
Google site. After all Eudora is there and nowhere in Eudor's documentation
do they mention gmail so why should The Bat include it... Come to think of
it how many people do you know that use Eudora?

Well, let's look at what is written in those instructions for Other,
which is what I also followed.

What it says is: 
___

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server  requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995  
___

When I look at my TB connection options, I see Regular, STARTTLS,
and TLS. Nowhere do I see SSL. Think of me as an ordinary user
with no understanding of what these three protocols mean (which is not
far wrong). I wouldn't have a clue which one to choose. I don't see
SSL. So what do I do? I go to the help file and run a search for
SSL. Do I find it? No, I do not! So, Tony, how can you describe this
as very easy? Maybe it is very easy for you, but it is certainly not
very easy for the average user.

Let's look now at the instructions for setting up SMTP.

___

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server  requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use 
authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587  
___

So now I am looking for STARTTLS or SSL (or so it seems). We already
know that SSL is not there. Unfortunately, STARTTLS is there. But when
I try to use it, the STARTTLS option (secure to regular port) does not
work. I have to use the TLS option (secure to dedicated port). Again,
maybe this is all very easy for you, but I found it rather
confusing.

The fact that Gmail seems to be using a somewhat different and
possibly contradicting terminology than TB makes me wonder whether the
TB use of terminology is accurate or up to date. And so I remarked as
follows:

  This is all that I was saying here. Think of it as another documentation
  complaint.

You answered:

 And I believe that the documentation for setting up TB! should be on the
 Google site. 

Yes, definitely! In one of my first messages on this topic, I
explicitly regretted that there was no specific instructions on the
Google site regarding configuring TB for Gmail. There seems to be a
marketing and support issue here. Ritlabs should be in contact with
Gmail to get such instructions posted. Ideally, the Ritlabs technical
writer should be involved in this task, but... as we all know...
Ritlabs does not have a technical writer nor does it seem very serious
about getting one. :-(

OK, Gmail just enabled the POP-options for my accounts.

POP works, but what settings do I have to use for SMTP?

I tried TLS to port 587 and entered the specific details under Perform
SMTP authentication/Use specific settings...

I also tried the settings of mail retrieval.

This does not work... :(

 You need to enable STARTTLS for SMTP, TLS is for popping.

Port 587 works with STARTTLS and TLS works with 465. I am not sure
why.

What I do not like is Gmail obviously filters my emails to the list,
so that I do not receive a copy of my mails. :(

Quite annoying.

Confirmed. Gmail's POP3 and SMTP both work very smoothly in TB. And it

An interesting plus for Gmail's POP3 - for me - has been that Gmail's
powerful spam control has eliminated around 98% of my spam. That is
better results than I have gotten with BayesIt or MailWasher. In case
there is a false positive (very rare, but it happens), the mail is not
lost. You can still retrieve the false positive for 30 days and also
train Gmail (at least it's supposed to accept training) to recognize
that mail as valid.

Actually, Tony, this is one of the intentional quirks of Gmail. Here
is how the Gmail support staff explain it:

~~~
Mail you send to yourself only appears in your inbox when you are the sole
recipient of the message. In order to prevent your inbox from becoming
cluttered, messages that you carbon copy or blind carbon copy to yourself,
or send to a mailing list that you subscribe to, appear in the 'Sent Mail'
section of your account. If a message is not successfully delivered, an
error message is sent to your inbox.
~~~

You can also read something about this problem in the Gmail Help Center at:

https://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=8853query=CCtopic=0type=f

This behavior takes some getting used to. I also don't like it very
much. Google tells you again and again not to worry about deleting
mail, but then they take this kind of step to prevent your inbox from
getting cluttered. It seems to be a contradiction.

But I have now gotten used to this behavior, and I no longer require
the security blanket of actually seeing a returned copy of my
message from mailing lists. I can wait to see my message again when
someone replies. After all, I do have a copy of what I sent in the
Sent Mail folder of both TB and Gmail.
