Haven't tried your suggestion yet.  But want to get clarity on something.

Same thing to clarify here.

Do you mean like so:

('password xxxxxxxx' has been elided to shorten)

 machine loginname1 login loginname1@gmail.com [...] port imap force yes
 machine loginname2 login loginname2@gmail.com [...] port imap force yes

That is, NOT giving a fully qualified hostname as argument to `machine'?

or do you mean this:

 machine loginname1@gmail.com login loginname1@gmail.com [...]
 machine loginname2@gmail.com login loginname2@gmail.com [...]

That is, using the full email address in two places.  Again NOT a
qualified IP address.

Sorry if this seems weak...

I think I better post the actual lines leaving out the password and
final arguments and you guys show me exactly what you are suggesting.

  machine imap.gmail.com login hputnam3@gmail.com
  machine imap.gmail.com login harrygp3@gmail.com 

Those are the actual lines... How would you edit them?
