Googlemail setup for Mail.app
by Volker Weber
Pieterjan has written a small program which lets you setup your Googlemail account in Mail.app:
It's Ideal for people that want to use Mail.app with their GMail account but can't be bothered how-to. Would you mind testing it to see if I overlooked anything?
Don't forget to enable POP3 access in Googlemail.

Great idea.
As an aside, Gmail has been a saviour for me whilst away from home: it’s common here in the UK for broadband ISPs to not allow mail routing via their SMTP boxes when not directly connected to them. In these scenarios, you can simply use your Gmail account credentials to route email via smtp.gmail.com (authenticating using your GMail credentials over SSL / port 587). Hurrah!
