I have the exact same problem, sometimes it won't sign in... The POP server doesn't recognize the username and password. 5 minutes later it works again most of the times. Weird...

thanks again man. merry xmas.

yeah thats just it being a pain in the ass, start a new account (make and delete one if you have to) then it should work.

No Hotmail is crap and isn't supported. but POP compatible e-mail sshould work.
check out the FAQ for thunderbird.

Hi Guys
I use Mac OS X mail to access my Gmail account. It's been working great for like 2 months but this past couple of days the Mail program can't get in the Gmail POP server. But when I access Gmail with a Browser there's no problem logging in.
Anyone had experienced or is experiencing the same problem?
Thanks!
