Hey guys-
Have any of you had problems using mac mail without having a .mac account? I'm trying to use gmail with it. I followed the directions on gmail as to how to do it, but I never worked! I re-did it a few times thinking I had made a mistake, but still it never worked.
Then today I was on Amazon looking at a CD on there (alesana :headphone ) and all of a sudden my mac mail opened by iteself and i had a buncha "new" messages that popped up. Ones that were sent to my gmail! I'm guessing I accidentally clicked on "email this web page" or something like that?? But anyways I was really excited until I tried to SEND an email, and got this message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com
The server response was 5.5.1 Authentication Required w43sm6672690pyg
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Message from: <my name was written here>
<my gmail address was here>
Send message using: <here was the pop-up menu, it had only one option: smtp.gmail.com>"
then i had these options: edit message, use selected server, and try again later
What am I doing wrong?????!!!!!!
any help would be awesome.
THANKS!
