Hi,

Thanks very much for your post. I have followed all the instructions in the
GMail help and POP3 is turned on (it was turned on anyway for when I used my
old computer). I put in all the correct server port numbers, ticked the SSL
boxes for ingoing and outgoing mail and ticked the authentification box but
still no joy.

Any ideas? Thanks again.
