 * i think gmail recently had some changes ( or at least thats what it said when
   i logged into the web interface) .. and due to that, it seems my postie is going
   thru all the folders in my Gmail , instead of Inbox..
 * anyone else encounter that?

 * I haven’t seen this with my gmail account.
 * Are you using POP or IMAP? POP doesn’t know anything about folders.

 * pop-ssl… can’t connect on port 110..

   successful ones

 * If you are wanting your folders to be recognized you need to use IMAP-SSL on 
   port 993.
