The special Gmail VZW Gmail PDF configuration document refers to using a Gmail username like:
recent:[email protected]
It says you must use this prefixed username if you use multiple pop3 clients to download the Gmail. I did not think it was mandatory especially if not using another pop3 client. But when I put inn
recent:[email protected]
it immediately recognized Gmail and began syncing email. It would not log in to my Gmail without the recent prepend to the userid.
Very strange..but at least it appears to be starting to work.
