Helmy </div></blockquote></div> Hey mates, I just thought of something now... the error I get says "Connection Refused", and I noticed that during the retrieval process, and all the way during the setting-up an account, I was never asked for my gmail password, so could my thunderbird account fail to connect to gmail because my FC login password is not the same as the GMail password? I mean, where & when DO i enter my gmail password to get messages from my inbox? Cheers -- A. Helmy
