 * Started working again this morning. Maybe whatever I did the other day just needed
   some time to take effect? Or, maybe some random temporary glitch? Either way,
   I’m good for now. Thanks!!

 * Hi Wayne,
 * Yes, I did follow the instruction in the error message.
 * *I did successfully do a web login to the Gmail account.
    *I confirmed that IMAP
   is enabled. *Postie is set to Sockets > IMAP-SSL > 993 > imap.gmail.com *I tried
   [http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha](http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha)*
   2-Step Verification is off *Allow less secure apps is set to ON
 * Here’s what’s really confounding me… If I sent an email to my Postie email address,
   then login to Gmail, I can see that the message was delivered. Now, if I run 
   the Process Email action in the Postie plugin, the message disappears from Gmail.
 * This leads me to believe that the Postie plugin is successfully logging into 
   Gmail. So, maybe something is blocking delivery of the email from Gmail to Postie?
 * Any other ideas?
 * Thanks!!

 * One more thing I just noticed… it does seem like Postie is logging into my Gmail
   account, because the emails I am sending are there, then gone after I hit the
   Process Mail button.
