O.K.
Only asked for password when sending, not when opening or receiving.
About the "adjacent settings button", are you talking about remember
password? If so, you have two boxes under incoming mail server that are
filled in automatically: Email user name and password (series of dots for the
password). When you check remember password, the password dots go dark. And
I did have it checked.
Incoming Server: Under server, it has
Incoming mail (POP3): pop.gmail.com Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Antivirus is McAfee. Security suite with everything-or so I hope.
Logon using secure password authentification is NOT checked.
Thanks Gary!!!
