SO, question--I want a new computer, but since for now I've got the work laptop, I'm not in a huge huge rush. Is there any reason I should wait, before buying a new MacBook? Anyone have any ideas how likely an update/new prices is, in the next couple months?

So I followed all the damn instructions to configure OE for POP access to Gmail, and pop.gmail.com isn't responding. Is that their problem or mine? Either way, this sucks.
A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account: 'Gmail of Polter-Cow', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

Hey. New board.
I'm getting pings from pop.gmail.com, implying that the server is up.
You enabled it at both ends, right? In OE and in the gmail client? There's a setting of some sort you have to set in the web client.

Yeah, I enabled POP in gmail for all mail ever. Gah.
Can't send, either.

All is well that ends in pizza.
First mistake is using OE....
Hmm, try turning off SSL for now.

Yeah, I tried that. It didn't work.
I set up POP with my Comcast e-mail, though, and that seemed to work fine. If I can't get stupid Gmail to work, I guess I can use that for a while. As long as I set up mail forwarding, everything should get bounced around to me eventually.

You could try Thunderbird. It works for me to access my gmail pop mail.
Waitaminute, your message above says it rejected account "Gmail of Polter-cow".
Do you have that whole phrase in the account name being sent to the server?

That's just the name of the server in OE. The server name is pop.gmail.com. I know it's trying the right server because I changed it to mail.gmail.com and it didn't even find it. It just keeps timing out on pop.gmail.com.

I'm not talking about the server name. I'm talking about the account name under the server name in OE under Tools->Accounts->Mail->Properties->Servers
and further under
Tools->Accounts->Mail->Properties->Servers->Settings.

Well, yeah, that's what the Account Name is called, but I don't see what that has to do with anything. I called the Comcast one "Cmail of Polter-Cow," and it worked fine. Is Gmail specifically finicky about that, or something? It has to be called "pop.gmail.com" or something?
