I can't seem to get the IMAP server to map into Mail on a MacBook Pro, 10.4.x.

Anyone else have this problem? and find a solution?

The directions at http://www.ncsu.edu/resnet/email/mac_mail/mail_osx.php work for me on my MBP.

curious, what will ^ do?

it works. sorry for being an idiot. not sure what i did differently, but it works

^^ It will do absolutely nothing. Repairing permissions never fixes any problems, but it's always the first suggestion.

Is there any possible way to configure mail to send and receive Gmail? I am not a big fan of browser-based E-Mail. I guess I'm old fashioned. I know there is an HTTP plugin for Mail that allows it to work with Hotmail and Yahoo, but as far as I know, it does not handle Gmail.

just go into accounts and set your pop server to pop.gmail.com

Thanks. A quick Google turned this up on SMTP:

Interesting stuff. I will try it tonight.

works fine for me for gmail. don't think there was anything special to it.

pop.gmail.com
username is full email address: yourname@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com
port 995
use SSL
