Any other users of gmail as their primary mailbox having problems in the
last 24 hours. My mail.app interphase, both inbox and outbox is
hanging. Takes almost 5 minutes to bring up the log-in page in Safari.
Logging in itself was quite quick. Assume mail.app is hanging because
it's timing out on the log-in. My ISP is running as well as it usually
does (pretty slow and crappy) for everything else. I'm just leaving my
log-in open now in Safari. Since email is not secure anyway, I don't
have anything worth stealing on it. But I hate browser mail. Is there
a simple way to increase the time mail.app will wait to log in? Can't
find it in preferences?
