I am having the same trouble and have gone round and round. Finally I have
gotten to the point where I am trying to send a test email and now I am going
round and round and getting stopped at Logon to pop.gmail.com I put in
my user name and password and it just keeps popping back at tme. I believe I
am using the right name and password.... gggrrrrrrrrrr I checked the box
that asks to remember credentials.
