   Hi August,

   Ok, you got me curious enough! ;)   
      
   I made the change in my TB config, restarted it, and added my gmail account   
   again. And it works fine again! We'll see if the browser window for   
   authentication will appear again, but so far so good...

   It works fine here. I want to keep the mail on the gmail server anyway, so I   
   can access it from other devices and see the same mail. That's where imap   
   works best...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
