Is it just me (here in Asia), or is Gmail, IMAP, POP, etc. for Gmail very very slow recently?

    Okay I think it has to do with Apple Mail default SSL "on" for incoming and outgoing mail

    OK Warning: Apple Mail in Leopard defaults the incoming server to SSL "ON" as well. Which AFAIK Gmail IMAP does not work with incoming SSL "ON", only the outgoing.

    Gmail Settings BTW:



    With my ISP port settings 587, 993 etc are very very slow, they block ports like mean motherf*ers







    Take a look at both IMAP support pages for Apple Mail and the iPhone. Both share similar steps including:



    Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com

    Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com

    Authentication: email@gmail.com + email password

    ?Use secure Socket Layer (SSL)?

    Ports: 587 Outgoing, 993 Incoming

    There is nothing wrong with leaving your email clients as-is exactly as the Gmail Help documents instruct. Unfortunately, you will start to see a little inconsistency between your email clients and your Gmail web interface.
