We can get at least 12 different quantitative values quite easily (such as on the face of a clock). Beyond that, increments are likely more ordinal than accurate. I'll update the next version.

Coupled with the innate human inability to accurately perceive relative angles, they are not that great even if the viewer does commit to serious conscious processing of the graphic. So, while I think "medium" is probably an accurate rating for it, it might warrant an asterisk or a footnote...

]]> Comment on Configuring IMAP for Gmail, Apple Mail.app, and iPhone (and iPod touch) (and probably iPad) by Kevin http://complexdiagrams.com/2009/01/imap-for-gmail-mailapp-iphone/comment-page-2/#comment-17941 Kevin Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:43:54 +0000 http://complexdiagrams.com/?p=57#comment-17941 Update - I still had the firewall on the Motorolla SBG900. Confirmed the firewall on the AE was on and allowing all incoming connections via Mail then turned the firewall off on the SBG900. Presto, gmail started synching to the Apple Mail. The rest of the directions should work now. Updated for anyone else having the same issue. Update – I still had the firewall on the Motorolla SBG900.

I have an error saying "The connection to the server "imap.gmail.com" on port 993 timed out. I have Suddenlink Cable as my ISP and am using a Motorolla sbg900 modem with an apple Airport Extreme Router. I have researched this problem as it appears to be a pretty prevalent problem but have yet to find an answer. Thanks for your time. Hello,
