This is a problem frequently encountered with new vo/mail users.
When setting up a new account, mail defaults to a dot mac account.
This pop-up box isn't readily vissible when doing your configuration,
and it needs to be changed *first* so it's a bit of a pain that it
acts the way it does. However, to solve this problem, when you first
go into new account, backtab (shift tab) once, and you'll get to the
type of account pop-up box. Change this from dot mac to pop3, and
your problem will go away. I honestly think this is one issue Apple
should fix when using vo and mail to setup a new account, that box
should be highlighted by default, instead of the one after it. It
makes for some rather confusing sessions with account setup.

Hello:
Trying to setup as the subject suggests however when trying to
slect the pop incoming server which is suppose to be mail.gmail.com
for whatever reason the .mac server is apart of the pop server
along with the gmail account.
On the gmail account from the web, I have enabled pop. Any
thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
I have followed the web instructions using Apple mail.
