Thanks for all the well detailed replies, I am happy to say I am now
able to read and write e-mail to my GMAIL account from within TB! I
set the GMAIL account to allow access to insecure apps, but I may try
and set it to OFF again and see if it is vital to connectivity. Thanks
again everyone!
As an aside, I am using an old V 5.8.10 TB!. I am quite happy with it
save for one thing that really bugs me. If I am reading a message in a
pre view pane and a new message arrives in that folder, I am
immediately slung out of it and the message is marked read. Does the
current version have this, to me, annoying trait?
All the best.
