Gmail oddity - anyone else?
Gmail requires me to log in about once a fortnight. When I complete the required fields the same page returns with the now blank fields.
I then have to reload from Bookmarks to get to my inbox. Doesn't seem like the way it should work to me?

I have only experienced this using iGoogle - but never had it using vanilla Gmail. In iGoogle it sometimes says to "Re-enter your information" in place of the inbox preview.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I use Outlook and Freeserve but get the same problem so, as they say in the trade, you're not on your own.
It is fixable, just can't remember exactly why. I seem to remember it is one of your mail account settings like check for authentication is ticked. Try google.

I'm still not clear how FB is accessing gmail? If via Outlook/POP3 'authentication' is only required for outgoing I believe, but SSL is needed for incoming, although that should not affect simply logging on. If FB is going straight to mail.g.c via a browser I have no problem there either.

Hijacking slightly, but I cannot get into a google sign-in page at all, no matter how I try. TOH has managed to log me in from his computer, so presumably something in mine is blocking all access.
Where do I start looking (bearing in mind I'm dim)?
If anyone understands this, I'd be grateful for help.
