Use hotmail as your sending server if you ever use the gmail to receive and send email.

Set it up to function as an alias in the gmail settings and enable IMAP.

One work around that I find works rather well is to create a gmail account and then use it just to import your email through POP. I think I was on OS X 10.5 when I first used it.

It's a simple program so there's little if any reason to update it. I was pretty relieved that I found a workable solution so if I did wait it wasn't long before I paid up.ĭon't worry about the updates.

I first started using it quite a while ago now so I can't remember if I did the trial or not. It's also concerning that the program hasn't been updated in over a year, since '20-10-09'. If I can't even get the trial working, Fluent Factory cannot expect me to shell out $20 for it. If you did try the trial version, how long ago did you try that and what OSX version were you using? My e-mail to Fluent Factory asking what the deal was just went into some blackhole, i.e ignored. As soon as I tried to access the IMAP interface, my hotmail account received an e-mail saying the trial has expired. If I save one hour because of zero-hassle setup and maintenance, MobileMe pays for itself.īobbba, did you try the trial version first of Fluent Factory's 'mBox Mail for Mac'? I downloaded and installed it right away. Saves me time on convenience alone, and since I bill $100/hour anyway, I see no reason to even think about it. Use gmail and there is a whole new set of problems to deal with. Think that is bad, check out the pop settings 'When messages are accessed with POP' I select 'delete gmails copy' and find that when accessing it via mail.app (where I setup 'delete off server after downloading') the server copy is deleted but nothing is download to my computer - a good number of emails suddenly vanish off the face of the earth.

And it also doesn't fix the problem - I used to access a gmail account through imap and found that when I deleted files it only used to tag them but never actually delete them off the server - in other words gmail have majorly stuffed up implementing imap.
