And that’s what I have too, but it comes back with 'setup could not
finish, Username or password incorrect (). Continue/Edit details'

Its currently set to not poll for emails to be downloaded, as is the pop
gmail account too, which wants to download emails from 2005! I should
coco!

It uses the same username, the same password, as the pop setup, which
works, but for some reason its not accepting it from imap. Its very
puzzling!

Thanks
Sharon.
