Gmail server settings

 I am having a problem that I can't seem to correct.
I took my computer to the beach, we have wireless there, received emails, etc.  I did change my outgoing server under the preference area so I could send emails.  I did nothing to the incoming server preference and things were coming in fine.
I get back to Charlotte and cannot receive any emails from my gmail account.  I can receive them from my carolina.rr. account!  My iphone received the gmail account and I can use my husbands computer to see those messages, just can't get them to come up on my apple.
I have done everything!  Any suggestions?


Outgoing server settings in 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard are a bit different. 10.5 is a little easier to work with and I’ll assume you are on Leopard since it’s the latest version.

When you changed your gmail account’server settings, when it now tries to send or receive it’s trying to use someone else’s line of communication. I suggest going to mail.app’s preferences. (that’s the stamp application). And take a look at the settings.

I’ve made a short screencast to help explain. It’s available at my video gallery here.
