Re: HOWTO: Setup up Claws mail with Gmail

The port settings are not available via the initial Claws wizard. These must be changed later, after the first connection attempt times out if setting up Gmail on Claws initial startup. Also, I had to uncheck the STARTTLS option under SSL to get a connection. It might be nice to include a short reminder to set up IMAP under the user's online Gmail preferences first. (SETTINGS then FORWARDING-POP/IMAP)
