[QUOTE="rcronin, post: 317525, member: 24079"] UPDATE: 3/8/07 I spent prob 30+ min on the phone with apple today and they figured this out. I had to completely deleted all my mail accounts (they were able to save my messages) and reinstall the preferences in Mail. This was pretty complicated, I could never explain it or replicate it! But it worked. I then had to go back to Gmail and redo my pop settings there. But now I can send and received mail on both accounts in Mail. Horray. They had me do prob 5 or more things before they hit on the right fix. It definitely was a pain. But I'm psyched it works RIGHT now! ************** First I set up Mail to get my email from my ISP (Charter) and it works fine. Then I tried to add my gmail account (and accidentally overwrote all my Charter settings - PIA!) So I can now see both the Gmail and Charter accounts in my inbox. But nothing's going in or out of the Gmail account. I used the set up info that Google has and changed my account settings to "enable pop" and saved it. I haven't gotten any error messages, just nothing happening.... Oh, and I have a decrepit Microsoft Outlook account that I've had forever. It's from an old job, they let me keep it open. I think it's express - that stripped down version that has just about NO useful features at all. How do I get that in Mail? Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
