OK, it's coming back to me: how I had to hack my client
when my ISP added TxAuthorisation, and the ID?passwd
was AFAICR base64 encoded - how dumb.

What I need to confirm is that my existing gmail by http,
will still continue to work, if/when I've had pop access.
So that would mean they access my stuff via http & pop/smtp
servers.

A previous contributor's ref. to:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py
?hl=en-GB&ctx=mail&answer=12103
shows:
]Once you've enabled POP in Gmail, you can configure your mail
]client or wireless device to download Gmail messages. To see our
] recommended settings or troubleshoot POP issues, click the name of
] your mail client or wireless device below.
This implies that POP is not automatically enabled;
and probably that enabling it, disables the http-default.

BTW, the:
"I don't know how it works,
but every *normal* guy is doing it,
so it must be OK",
is what got y'all into the economic crisis poop ?

== TIA.

This has already been answered in this thread a few times for you, but
you refuse to read it. YES http access will continue to work!

The only others that I could think of who are/were this dumb, are Tom
Newton, Alan Connor, and Sidney Lambe, (I understand that he also has used
other nyms), the latter being not only dumb, but so deluded as to consider
himself a Wiccan Priest and Magician.

Yup that's Sydney Lambe alright, not only in comp.os.linux.misc,
alt.os.linux.slackware, and comp.os.linux.networking but
alt.religion.wicca as well.

Yup that's Sydney Lambe again, not only in comp.os.linux.misc, and
comp.os.linux.networking but lt.religion.wicca, and alt.os.linux.slackware
as well, where he's also 'Evergreen'.
