Hi Leon,

In light of Wesley's suggestion, here are the settings for Google Mail.

pop.googlemail.com - SSL/TLS(security) - 995(port)
smtp.googlemail.com - SSL/TLS(security) - 465(port)

I have set up my Gmail defaults (on the website) to activate POP. This 
enables mails to be deleted from the mail server by my notebook, which 
is where I want to store any mails that I decide to keep. However, it 
also means that I can view mails on my mobile, or elsewhere when not 
using my notebook, without them being deleted from the mail server.

Works brilliantly. Must admit that I don't use Geary (largely because it 
doesn't support POP), but you should be able to get this to work 
similarly (although some security settings may vary) for IMAP.

Hope this is helpful.

Robin
