Funnily enough, I don't have it ticked in my GMail settings and it connects to send and receive without any problem.
I've said now and later because they show it as unticked in the help pages (when they're working!).
If you ever find you're not connecting it would be worth going back to those pages to check if they've changed that, although hopefully they would email us to advise of the change.

Well thanks again. No I don't use the 'recent' setting - if i'm away I use webmail.
Hmm- I'll have to check that out with gmail. Those settings have just followed me through 2 computers and 3 email clients.
And yes, having help pages that actually connect would be helpful! LOL
