As Thomas posted already, either (a) or (d) is the configuration you need to receive mail.

No matter what I do in setup, my new pmail installation won't get mail from gmail - my inbox remains empty. 

Only error messages is Connection Timeout (no response from host).  Trace showing end of transaction only shows:
6. Socket timeout

   I can create and send mail from Pmail through gmail, but just can't receive.  I'm running Vista Home Premium on a new laptop (Acer Extensa 5620Z).    

 Setting for receiving mail:
Server Host Name: pop.gmail.com
TCP/IP Port: 110

Any ideas, suggestions?
