[pmmail-list] Receiving Mail from GMail ?

[Phil Morgan]

Mike:

Thanks for offering. I had run that script several years ago to migrate 
to TBird to save a lot of work in case PMMail became unusable, etc., for 
some reason.  Since then (2007), I've run PMMail and TBird side by side 
(on XP and, now, Win7) until I got a GMail account.  The GMail works 
fine on TBird and my Treo, but I couldn't get anywhere with it under 
PMMail ...

I conclude that there's no workaround for the absence of SSL support?

Too bad.  Thought it was worth asking this group as I've found they have 
the answers to almost everything.

Thanks,
