Hi, I cant seem to log into imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. I followed every direction via gmail.com to setup an account on Mail 3.5. I enabled IMAP in my account settings on gmail.com. I just cant seem to get it working it so weird. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
When I'm creating the account on the second page (the one where you enter imap.gmail.com), I'm get an error that it couldn't log into imap.gmail.com, even though it is enabled under my account settings on gmail.com. I tried ignoring it and kept moving onto the third page where you put in your outgoing mail server and still same thing (it gives me an error saying it cant login to smtp.gmail.com). Everytime it asks me for my username/password I type in my full gmail address and password. Don't see what I'm doing wrong.
