Hey all,

This is a problem that has occurred since 26th February, when my Mail decided to stop working. So I have done nothing to my Gmail account, yet suddenly this happens and i can only read apple hot news? I have since downloaded Thunderbird and all has been fine. But I really don't want to have to use a third party app to check emails when I have an app that already can! Please help me with the problem.

Thanks a bunch! :D

Have you changed any settings recently? Are you using IMAP or POP?

If you're using IMAP, check that the servers are set correctly:
- Incoming: imap.gmail.com
- Outgoing: smtp.gmail.com

Also make sure your username and password are correct. One other thing you may want to check is that the account is enabled: Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > check "Enable this account."

Problem solved! I simply removed my Gmail account from the list then added it again, and it works! Thanks anyway, vansmith!
