 * Hi, I have Postie installed and all running perfect. However, i want to add a
   second email address to the Authorized Addresses. Postie works great with my 
   POP3 account via outlook on my computer but when i add my gmail.com email address
   it doesnt post the email to the blog. Does Postie work with gmail accounts, if
   so what am i doing wrong?

 * That information can be found [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/other_notes/):
 * But, here’s the information copied from that page:
 * > **Can I use postie to check a gmail account?**
   > Yes. You can use either pop3-ssl or imap-ssl with a gmail account. Before attempting
   > to use with postie, make sure that you enable pop or imap in your gmail preferences.
   > **Pop3 settings:
    - protocol – pop3-ssl
    - server – pop.gmail.com
    - port – 995
    - userid – your username (e.g. if your e-mail address is [foo@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authorized-addresses/foo@gmail.com?output_format=md),
      this would be just foo)
    - password – your password
 * **IMAP settings:
    - protocol – imap-ssl
    - server – imap.gmail.com
    - port – 993
    - userid – your username (e.g. if your e-mail address is [foo@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authorized-addresses/foo@gmail.com?output_format=md),
      this would be just foo)
    - password – your password

 * Hi, I’m not sure this is what i’m after. I need to add the gmail account to the
   Authorized Addresses. My gmail account is not the account Postie is checking,
   i want to send an email from my gmail account to the Postie mail server so it
   shows in the blog. It works fine with my work email but not gmail. I have tried
   changing the settings in gmail as per the article, non of the Pop3 or IMAP setting
   are shown in my preferences.

 * If the only choice is pop then you are missing the php imap extension.
 * For allowing posts from different email addresses either create WordPress accounts
   for those email addresses and assign them the correct permissions to match the“
   Roles That Can Post” setting.
 * Or add every email that is allowed to post to “Authorized Addresses”
