[QUOTE="Kola, post: 994830, member: 43224"] Hi guys, Not getting very far here. I goto, Mail > Preferences > New account/add account etc and fill out the correct info on the first page IE FULL NAME: - My Name (guessing this is for display purposes only so not matter really) USER NAME:- Is my name followed by my "@gmail.com" but I have even tried "@googlemail.com" PASSWORD:- Is the exact same one I used to log into Gmail via safari so I know for certain all the above info is correct. No matter what I do I get the same message:- Logging in to the Gmail IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages. I realise the above states IMAP and Gmail is actually POP. So somehow even thought this page doesn't even work Apple Mail lets me go to the next page re incoming server. INCOMING SERVER:- Account Type:- POP Description:- Gmail Incoming Mail Server:- pop.gmail.com Username :- My name, Also tried My name followed by "@gmail.com" and "@googlemail.com" Password:- Same old password that works for Gmail via safari and my iPhone When I press Continue it takes around 5 minutes to move forward and then states Logging into the Gmail POP server failed. Check you user name and password etc etc Please can anyone help as switching so far has been plain sailing. I cant understand what Im doing wrong here. [/QUOTE]
