Stuart, somehow this all seems a bit strange to me - that you can reach the Gmail Web interface and ping Gmail servers but not use the POP3 access. So please don't mind my making a few more suggestions and asking a few questions. 1. Have you tried to access Gmail via POP3 from home, where there are presumably no special firewalls or whatever that would block access? If so, can you send and receive messages from TB? (Please don't forget that messages you send to yourself - from the same Gmail account to the same Gmail account - will not turn up in your inbox.) 2. Have you tried - alas and just as an experiment - to access Gmail POP3 via Outlook Express, which has very clear and explicit instructions for configuration on the Gmail site? I ask this only because it is a known fact that many people have difficulty configuring TB for POP3 to Gmail. On one Gmail discussion list that I belong to but visit infrequently - Gmail Generation?? - there is a special thread for helping TB users. You can also run a search on Google to see that others have similar problems. So I'm just curious if this might be a TB thing. 3. Can you send us a screen capture of what you currently see on your Settings>>POP3 configuration page? This is a strange page, and after changing the settings once, the options change the next time you go there. 4. What was the result of your efforts to bribe your sysops? -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
