Hi Yvon
Thanks for that. I suspected X11 was mandatory, just wanted a  
confirmation. I will have a look at your files too.
I dont understand your answer about gmail being POP... sylpheed  
supports POP3. I have setup gmail on Apple mail and thunderbird with  
no problems.
As I said I can set it up fine with no problems, I just cant send any  
mail from sylpheed using my gmail account...
Thanks
