I'm trying to set up my Mail app to send and receive through my Google Gmail account.



I'm slightly computer retarded, and subsequent searches have not helped, and so I cannot figure out what I should put down for "Incoming Mail Server."



Any ideas?



Also, and what Account Type should this be? POP? IMAP? Exchange?

    Gmail does not yet provide POP or IMAP access so using Mail is currently out of the question.



    You can however use gCount which will alert you to new messages in the menu bar or Dock.

    Does Gmail support automatic forwarding and POP3 access?



    Not at the moment, but Google believes in helping people access information whenever and however they want to do so. In the future you will be able to access Gmail messages from non-Gmail accounts for free or at a nominal fee



    You're trying to do something that's currently impossible.
