[pmmail-list] Receiving Mail from GMail ?

[Phil Morgan]

Keith:

I replaced "att.yahoo" with "gmail" in your stunnel.conf and it worked 
fine with GMail for both sending and receiving.

I believe GMail prefers that port 587 be used for SMTP so, while it 
works fine with 465, I changed the SMTP port to 587 (also in PMMail2k) 
and it still works fine.

Thanks so much!
