Hi

I have a Gmail IMAP Account. Repeatedly when I send mail via apple mail it times out. By "time out" i mean the wheel keeps spinning and the email eventually gets placed in my Outbox. When I exit Apple Mail and return, the email gets eventually sent.

This is very annoying to say the least.

THE Problem DOES NOT HAPPEN when I use webmail at google. The email gets sent rather quickly and without consequence.

Is Apple Mail the culprit? What can I do?

I will be receiving the new MS Office for the MAC which includes Outlook. Should I use Outlook as the email client and can I then still synch to the Iphone?

What are my alternatives to apple mail for an email client that is NOT web based?

Thanks

Jay
