When I go to the Webmail version of G-Mail with Chrome and allow it to go to the New Version,  it gives me a Warning (This is too long, do you still want to keep trying?  I say, "Yes" and hit <enter>.  I wait a few more seconds and then it finally connects.  G-mail Notifier (the Mail envelope icon)  carries an exclamation superimposed over it.  When I click on it, it says, "Cannot connect to your E-mail. Service temporarily unavailable."  I double click on the Icon and it connects, drops the Exclamation Point, and shows me the Window of G-Mail with the New E-Mail???????  So even the Notifier is upset with the Latency problem or won't wait beyond the 15 seconds to hear the reply from G-mail just like D-Rats.  It quits pinging at 15-16 seconds and pronounces a failure to connect (which if it would try a few more pings, would prove to be successful.  Can we delay D-Rats SMTP connect request a few more seconds?
