There's a slew of disgruntled gmail users that got knocked out somehow. I can now send, but not retrieve. The crowd is getting pretty ugly about it in the gmail help topics forum. Of course, your's truly stirs the port occasionally. I thought it was on my end, downgraded evolution, lost all of my mail folders and contents in the process, beat myself up for awhile, re-installed, all to no avail. THEN I thought to check gmail on the website and found all of the rest of the lost souls. We're huddled around the campfire built inside a busted TV, just like in "Terminator". Refugees from a very technological world that is a great place to live, until something basic like email blows up. At least it knows no discrimination with regards to race, creed or OS. Mac, Windows, Linux users of various types are all affected. I find some measure of comfort in that. :) Ric
Apparently I adapted better than some then. I just turned off Evolution and did the webmail thing to get my fix :] I didn't feel any need to get angry at anyone. That is one thing in switching to Linux though ... now I assume that if I didn't change anything, the problem must lay elsewhere. In Windows, if things stopped working, there was a 50% chance that MS decided to bork things up for me automagically without any user intervention and a 10% chance that some virus or worm decided to safe MS the effort. /Mike
