Charlie , you know I was a beta tester for gmail in its inception, I use Incredimail as my email manager , and all my mail from webs sites to gmail to googs grandcentral Voice mail come through it.

if your using Outlook , STOPPPPPPPP shame on you.it screws up so much , Im white headed over that POS.

IN settings of gmail. just check forward all pop
2 choices
only mail from this day forward
or
all will be sent to mail address..

And I have alot of addresses, I have one old PC and and old Laptop thats all they are used for my Incredimail =Gmail accounts and my Google Grandcentral phone numbers which the voice mails come to gmail addresses the all retrieved by incredimail.

Incredimail worked so well when they weny public I bought stock, so yes I am an Owner

Just did this 5 minutes ago and it works quite well sad that I have a MSN account and MS's own OS won't let me use it for that but I have outlook 2007 to handle that. :giggle:
