Thx much — esp. for the passwd tip. I’ve searched around, none of what i saw worked, but it must be the special filename you chose that pine uses by default to store the passwd.. (?) Whatever it was, it worked, and it’s wonderful to be getting this going locally!!

Peace–

The ones I were looking at were definitely IMAP as they used imap.gmail.com as the server name. But that reminds me, I should add something to my post about enabling IMAP in GMail as I had already done that long ago and didn’t think to mention that such a thing was required for all of this to work.

Ahoy,

It’s my blog you listed as a guide. Just wanted to comment that my way might ahve worked while others weren’t because other guides are likely showing you how to setup POP3 mail, whereas mine is for IMAP.

So if you weren’t trying to use IMAP, my solution might not be what you wanted. If POP3 is your goal, ensure you have it enabled and NOT IMAP in your Gmail settings and try the other way again.

Either way, thanks for the pingback, and hope it works out well for you in either case!
