POP enabled for Gmail

[Solid Fro]

You can now use your mail client to read mail from your Gmail account without a stand alone program.

You must enable POP in your Gmail account first and set up your mail client to receive from Gmail. Instructions are in the link.

Gmail + Thunderbird = 👍

About freaking time! I've been waiting for this so I can use Thunderbird (Email-client equivalent of Firefox for the uneducated).

*goes to mozilla.org*

Thank goodness. I was hoping I wouldn't have to keep clicking this dang icon on FireFox and waiting to get my emails.

Well, I have my Gmail up and running on Thunderbird now.

I've 2 questions about Thunderbird though:
1. Can Thunderbird hold email conversations in a thread together the way the Gmail website does? I remember Outlook Express being able to do this,

2. Does anyone know why all my sent items are appearing in my inbox and not the sent items folder?

I'd rather have IMAP support though, because then at least the damn mailboxes are synchronised.

You should use these email client settings.

• POP server: pop.gmail.com.
• Port: 995.
• Require SSL: Yes.
• User name: your Gmail email address.
  • Make sure your user name includes both your Gmail account name and "@gmail.com". If your Gmail account name is "qwertz.qwertz", for example, type "qwertz.qwertz@gmail.com" as the user name.
• Password: your Gmail password.

• SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com.
• Port: 465.
• Require SSL/STARTTLS: Yes.
• Require SMTP authentication: Yes.
• User name: your Gmail email address.
• Password: your Gmail password.

Because those .NET third party programs use an enormous amount of memory (the last one I used took up 24mb of ram?!).

I can send messages, but nothing works in my Inbox, I sent a message to myself, and I saw it when I logged into gmail.com, but my Mozilla Thunderbird doesn't seem to use the Inbox.
