I think ssl should work here, did not help. But I think I got it - you question about the -alias1 made me search where this is defined and I found /etc/hosts where I had several of this ,---- | 173.194.69.109 imap.gmail-alias1.com `---- so I searched the web and found ,---- | 173.194.116.182 imap.gmail-alias1.com `---- but did not work either, so I finally did ,---- | ping -c 2 imap.gmail.com `---- and got ,---- | 74.125.136.109 imap.gmail-alias1.com `---- and this new IP finally makes it work again. So it seems Google just dropped the old IP I used and things stopped working. Puh, simple cause, simple cure, but somehow tricky diagnosis, I hope I remember this for the future ... Thanks a lot for you help, Adam and Eric! -- cheers, Thorsten
