15 | I looked at those instructions and also at setting up mutt, which I |
16 | currently use. Clear as mud. After scratching my head for several |
17 | minutes, I really wanted to scrap my Gmail account altogether, but it |
18 | might screw up some other stuff I do with Google. I very rarely use |
19 | Gmail, and I do know how to access Gmail via web browser. So I |
20 | commented the Gmail stanza out of my .fetchmailrc and I'll use web |
21 | browser to access Gmail. |
