Email account

[Bravestar]

Hey

I been using GMAIL for emails for probably 3 years and love it, even got my mom who useless with any form of a computer to register with GMAIL but...

I want a email account I can use with Outlook, im not sure in gmail can be used, if so great, but if not which other email accounts would be worth while?

You can use Gmail with outlook. Login to Gmail, at the top right click settings. Then click on the tab "Forwarding and POP/IMAP". All the settings you need are in the section "POP Download".

Gmail - Enabling POP

Gmail - Supported POP client list

You'd actually consider something other than Gmail?

GMAIL also does IMAP...which may be a better solution

Oops.... somebody hasn't played around in Gmail's settings yet
Gmail actually works great in Outlook, but I prefer Mozilla...

If you use IMAP, your mail will still be available on gmail.com when you download them to your PC. When you mark an email as read on your PC, it will also be marked as read on gmail.com. It is great to always have a backup of your mail online and in sync with your desktop.

The best IMAP client I have found so far is Mozilla Thunderbird.

Most mobile phones also support IMAP.
