Original OEM BELL WM6.1 Rom

[Danny08]

Anyone notice that on this new Rom, You cannot create a Gmail account with IMAP? When you create new account and enter your Gmail it says found automatic settings for gmail.com and then you cannot go back and select IMAP rather than POP3. Later on once created, you can go back and change the server from pop3.gmail.com to imap.gmail.com, but the IMAP/POP3 selector is greyed out.
Any ideas?

Thanks awesome forum btw!

In No2chem's WM 6.1 thread here... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17301 he says:

**Known issues:
GMAIL users are forced to use POP3 Email due to auto-detection EDIT: OmegaX posted a fix - misspell gmail and fix it later.

Although I don't personally use gmail - I assume you just have to misspell gmail when creating the account... make it IMAP... then comeback and spell it correctly :P
