GMail Query

Hi All,
Just a quick question about GMail's POP Access functionality. When I enable POP Access, I can download all my messages into my mail client. However, messages received after that don't download in POP - unless I go into GMail and re-enable POP Access; then, messages between that period can be downloaded - but subsequent messages can't and so on.
I've done lots of Google searching and genuinely can't work out if this is intentional ("You may use our service to download your messages for archive but not treat our service as a POP E-Mail service"), or not, or something I'm doing wrong.
Does anyone else have any similar experience?

Can you use Gmail SMTP for a phpBB board? If so what settings do you use?

Metropol is doing that right now, that's how that damn debug error is fixed.

You need to install <a href="http://www.bytewize.com/linux/">this wee gizmo</a> first (take note of the instruction about gettext, it's on about line 163).

The use the settings from <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlo ... x">here</a> and type away. If I'm not mistaken its "login" security.

Thanks Hyma, looks like the perfect solution. Of course, I haven't looked to much into it at the moment, but I'll start implementing it now.
