Only one thing I haven't gotten working (1st Mac)

I can't get OSx mail to work. I use gmail but like having a desktop client so that mailto types of things work better. I've tried setting up my gmail account in the OSx mail app twice and when its done it downloads about 130 messages that are VERY old (from 2006ish) and that's it. Nothing new and no more of the thousands of messages I have in gmail. What gives?

Have you set up your Gmail account for IMAP access?

There is a ton of information about setting up Apple Mail with Gmail out there on the interwebs. Try Google if you have specific questions. I'm sure it's been asked before.

It works. There are a lot of site explaining how to set it up.

I am also using Sparrow Lite and am getting to like it. I may get the full version of Sparrow.

Yes. I know how to set up an email client. I've done it dozens of times in Windows. I just can't get it to work.
