[sylpheed:37323] Re: Prevented from switching gmail account to POP3

I=E2=80=99m going to top post here because it=E2=80=99s too much hassle =
sorting this on an iPad Mini with stylus.

G, Thanks for that. A lot of my school teachers got it wrong, and once I=
 had an interview at a major bank that wanted to hire me, but with my re=
sume under his nose the big boss didn=E2=80=99t get it right once in 45 =
minutes. Attention to detail=E2=80=A6

Ok, back to the discussion=E2=80=A6I=E2=80=99m not sure the Google instr=
uctions actually work. They seemed to at first, since then at Mailwasher=
 Pro, which I use for convenience as an email filter, nobody has been ab=
le to get it to work, even when Gmail=E2=80=99s server confirms the para=
meters in MWP=E2=80=99s settings. That is, test email never arrives=E2=80=
=A6except in the Gmail account.
