[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1696631, member: 204485"] Im not entirely convinced that this is an OS problem. I do think disposing of any third party applications that may effect your security settings would be a good idea it just complicates the issue and as there is absolutely no need for Norton Security I would get rid of it. It is possible that the Apple Mail app itself is the problem (wouldn't be the first time). I suggest you give another email application a try and see if you have the same problems. This will rule out several possibilities and the best suggestion I can think of that will run on your OS is Mozilla Thunderbird, you can download from here; [url]https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird[/url] Just set up one account and see how it goes. As I see it you have three things working against you and obviously one of them has changed or changed something. 1. You are running old an outmoded, unsupported operating System. 2. You have a gMail account running on Apple Mail, there have been long standing issues with mail and gMail. 3. You have a third part Security app running with unknown actions. Running a different email client, if it works will eliminate two of those factors. [/QUOTE]
