Hi,
You don't have to use the JAWS cursor to enable pop because all of the
settings are accessible and be easily accessed using the Basic HTML view,
Yay! It wasn't that way when I signed up for an account in January and I had
to use the JAWS cursor to move around the settings screen and enable pop for
my account to use it with Outlook Express or any other email client that
supports sending and receiving mail through pop3.

Well, the only trick is that you have to use the JAWS cursor for enabling
pop3 but there also are step-by-step instructions in the Gmail help center.
Just Google instructions for setting up Gmail with Outlook Express. Mark

>> Hi Dan and others:
>>
>> I don't recall seeing instructions for gmail and OE setup, but I did ask
>> a question about it. There are two things you have to do.
>>
>> 1. Go to www.gmail.com and sign in with your user name and password.
>> Your user name is your complete gmail address. Once you've done that,
>> press enter on the link that says "settings." Then, press enter on a
>> link that says something like pop and forwarding. Finally, you need to
>> check the radio button that says enable pop access. Be sure to press
>> enter on the button to save your changes.
>>
>> 2. Now that pop is enabled, you're ready to set up Outlook Express. Go
>> into OE, then press alt-t to go to the tools menu, and then press A for
>> accounts; you do not have to press enter. Next, assuming you want to
>> create a new account, tab over to the add button and press enter.
>>
>> Enter in your full name and gmail address. When asked for incoming pop,
>> imap or http server, type:
>> Pop.gmail.com
>>
>> When asked for outgoing SMTP server, type "smtp.gmail.com" (without
>> quotes). Your user name for both servers will be your gmail address
>> including the "@gmail.com" part. Your password will be the one you set
>> up when you signed up for the gmail account.
>>
>> Once you press enter on finish for the new account, you're not really
>> finished. Shift tab over to the list of accounts, make sure the one you
>> created is highlighted and tab to properties and press enter. Now,
>> press ctrl-tab one time to get to the servers tab. Release the control
>> key and press tab until you come to a check box that says "this server
>> requires authentication. It will be unchecked, press space bar to check
>> it.
>>
>> Finally, you need to set up an SSL connection. Press ctrl-tab three
>> times to get to the advanced tab. The first thing you land on is the
>> outgoing server port number. Press tab one time and you'll come to a
>> check box that says my server requires a secure connection. Press space
>> to check it, press shift-tab one time and type 465 into the outgoing
>> server port box.
>>
>> Next, tab three times and you'll come to another check box that says my
>> server requires a secure conection. Press space bar to check this, then
>> press shift tab one time and verify the incoming port number is 995.
>> Press tab until you get to the ok button and press enter, then press tab
>> until you get to the close button and press enter again.
>>
>> You should now be set to use Outlook Express with gmail. If you have
>> any questions or need someone to walk you through this, give me a call
