I think, given the error message, you may need to change your username to "xxx.xxx" and not "xxx.xxx@xxxxxxxxx" in both the Receiving Email and Sending Email tabs for your Gmail account. > Are you using imap.gmail.com:993 with SSL for receiving and > smtp.gmail.com:465 with SSL for sending? That's what works for me (Evo > version 2.22.3 on F9). The Gmail Help page has full information. I don't have to provide port numbers, as long as I choose IMAP with SSL encryption and SMTP with SSL encryption (i.e. the standard ports are used by Gmail), and check "server requires authentication" for sending email. > PS "Works" is a relative term here.

I don't have the problem using Evo with any other of my IMAP sources, so I'm guessing it's Gmail related. -- Paul W.
