Thanks for your options. I'll try these, though I don't what "nix box type is. you can email my yahoo account if you have more info on what that is. As for another imap, I did try Windows Live Mail yesterday and got errors, though they were somewhat different. So, yes, def a a google issue here, but since it started with Z I thought I'd see if anyone else was using ZD for Google and having some of the same issues. And Alto, you should keep your blazing success to yourself. GRR.
