Yes. Soved it by clicking on the Tools menu, choosing Options, then
clicking on the "Mail Delivery" tab. Under the heading "Mail Account
Options" check the box that says "Send messages immediately when
connected". Click on OK. After that, if you are online, the message
will be sent as soon as you click on the Send button.
Hope this helps.

This discussion of IMAP does not seem accurate. I recently switched
several mailing lists to Gmail IMAP, and the messages on my 2 Macs
(and one iPhone) were NOT downloading to all three machines. I've
meticulously made sure all the settings were the same in Mail.app, and
it still does not work.
The Macs are Intel with Tiger OS X 10.4.11, and Mail.app is up to
date.
The whole problem completely defeats the purpose of using IMAP.
BTW, this does NOT happen with any of my regular POP accounts.

I think you should perhaps do some research on the technologies before
writing abusive emails. What you have described is actually how POP
works by default without changing the configuration of your email
client. Not just Google POP - but every Post Office Protocol server.
Maybe you were having a bad day but it's still no excuse for such
harsh words especially considering you are asking for assistance. I
normally find civil and open discussion is the best way to get answers
to technical questions.

i've found a bug in gmail. i tried to add a pop3 e-mail account to
gmail,
but i can't because gmail says i've already reached the limit.
the issue is that i don't have any other e-mail accounts in gmail.
this is the first one. i have zero e-mail accounts when the limit is
five.
here is the error message:
You already have the maximum number of accounts allowed.
the problem might be that i tried adding the e-mail account at least a
dozen
times. i had the wrong user and pw info, and made numerous attempts
to add the account (not gmail's fault). i think in this case, gmail
might be
counting the attempts as actual accounts.
what do you suggest i do? i'd really like to add the account.

I see that one of the suggestions made about IMAP settings is to turn
the client's junk filters off. Does leaving them on cause a big
problem. I need my client (currently Mail.app) to filter junk on a
different account, and this seems to be a global setting, not an
account by account setting. Any advice, or how big a problem is junk
mail turned n with an IMAP account?

I have configured my Outlook Express (OE) with Gmail IMAP. But I am
not able to read my already downloaded messages after I go offline.
Suppose I was online and synced my OE client and then went offline.
Now if I goto any message in some folder, I can't read it unless I go
online. Similar case if I close OE and open it again. And without
going online, if I try to read any message, still can't read them. Is
there a setting in OE to be able to read Gmail IMAP offline after
syncing or Gmail POP is the only alternative? I need to use IMAP cause
I have to access my Gmail from multiple computers. Please help.
Thanks!
