I've added my gmail account to Mail.app

It worked find in previous days, and downloaded thousands of previous mails.

But now, it can't connect to gmail server for days.

What's the matter here?

Here is my config in account setting:

Account Type: Gmail IMAP
Email Address: xxx@gmail.com
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
User Name: xxx@gmail.com
Password: xxxxxx

And also, is there any means that I can view the transaction log of Mail.app? Maybe there I can find more information.

I've changed from IMAP to POP, and now it works.

The trick here is that you can't specify your gmail address when adding a new account, in that way, Mail.app will automatically use IMAP for your gmail account.

Just use another address, and in the manual setting, set up the gmail POP server.
