Hi all,

I converted to an IMAP Gmail account two weeks ago, and became hooked to the instantaneous mail downloads thanks to the IDLE command. Now, all of a sudden, emails no longer arrive unless I click on "Get Mail." I have not changed my preferences and the "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" box is still checked.

I just got off the phone with an Apple rep. who told me that having "Check for New Messages" set to "Manually" was my problem... but I know that she was wrong, as I've been receiving instant messages for two weeks now.

Your help is appreciated.
