Setting up Gmail account
I am trying to set up a Gmail account on OS X Lion Mail. I have a 2 step password on Gmail. I have found the Application specific password. I have entered the password in to the Mail account. Mail keeps asking for the password to check mail. I have checked my mail settings on my snow leopard machine. I am surprised that those setting show the Gmail account is POP. I thought the account would be IMAP. I don't know what that means.
Mail does appear to be downloading some of the emails, which I don't know why. My iphone and ipad seem to checking my mail properly.
iMac Intel, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
