POP3 email address: my complete address Real Name: My name with one umlaut id: just the part before "@" incoming: pop.gmail.com pw: saved in keychain Use secure connection on a dedicated secure port: 995 (Use port checked) Leave copies of retrieved messages on the server Retrieve messages keft on server again: tried both checked and unchecked Outgoing: authenticate (same as ingoing) Use secure connection on a dedicated secure port: 465 (Use port checked) On gmail.com the Status is: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 12/19/06 However, I renewed the settings for enabling POP also for messages that have been already downloaded. This is a possible culprit. PM and gmail obviously don't agree on what messages that have been downloaded because of PM prematurely disconnecting and the gmail servers may have recorded that all messages have been offered already and missed that the connection was dropped. This would have been much easier to troubleshoot if PowerMail had connection error logging and proper duplicate message handling. But this can be the solution possibly. If I can get my remove duplicate script working again after redownloading all messages and dumping all the old ones that I already should have, I might be able to solve this in the end. PowerMail prematurely dropping connections (long, long standing problem on many different nets and different Macs) remain a problem that must be solved or I can't continue to use Powermail.
