Re: G-Mail annoyance.
Computer? Mail program? This happens to me if, for instance, I get something coming in from my aol account, and try to forward it to someone. All my mail goes through first Verizon, then Apple's servers. What happens is the piece of mail generated when I try to forward a msg. is it set up to come from the same account it came in on, fine if it's NOT AOL, which is verboten most everywhere to prevent spam. So I'm told I can't send it from that server, I go in and I change the POP account to an Apple or Verizon address in the From: field, and poof. Out it goes. On Jul 27, 2009, at 16:29 , P. J.

The funny thing is that it happens on my PDML dedicated account. I never send e-mails to multiple address using it, while the other account I use I will send the same interesting stuff to multiple friends in a BCC.

I am then forced to login through the web interface and enter one of those stupid security codes I have Thunderbird (Mac) configured to connect to GMail via IMAP. Now and then it hiccoughs and demands my password again. I just ignore it (dismiss the dialog box) and eventually it straightens itself out. It's been acknowledged by the GMail people as just a glitch they'll fix someday. Probably system (over-)loading issues. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Probably system (over-)loading issues. i've had both of the (separate) problems described above; Bruce describes occasional password failures by gmail imap in ThunderBird, which happens often for me; P. J. describes a password rejection which can't be cured unless you jump through hoops on the gmail web interface; that used to happen to me at least once a week, but hasn't since May or so; i had understood the latter to be related to connecting via different ip addreses -- i move my computer between home and work everyday, sometimes go elsewhere, and also have my phone connecting -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: G-Mail annoyance.
Not in relation to this problem, but I would recommend using IMAP protocol (both Thunderbird and Gmail support it). It works smoother in general, and you can avoid potential problems if you access it from more than one computer. BTW, with imap - it has a hickup once in a while, but it clears by itself without any user action. Igor P. J. Alling wrote: > Has anyone else had a problem like this? I use the gmail pop > interface.
