Also, an interesting thing I learned today, is that while setting up a new install of Thunderbird, it automatically detected Gmail's imap server as imap.googlemail.com. I don't know if that a new server, or an old one. It works, so I'm leaving it alone for now. Also, Seamonkey Mail also works today with imap.gmail.com. Lesson learned: always wait a few days, before raising a stir. Cheers, Van ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Port to 993, server name to imap.gmail.com, User Name to my Gmail login name, 'Connection security' to SSL/TLS. But every time I try to connect, I get this message: Could not connect to mail server imap.gmail.com; the connection was refused. I have tried all different combinations of Port # and Connection security options. Same result every time. So, before I file a bug report, I just want to check to see if anyone else can confirm this. Or, am I missing the boat here somewhere? By the way, Thunderbird connects to Gmail/IMAP just fine with the same settings as I have in Seamonkey Mail. Thanks, jervan Connection refused is often a password problem. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Mail doesn't even get to the point of asking for the password. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
