I've checked the settings for gmail in OE using the link you kindly provided, all seems ok. I don't send using gmail very often but receive without problem and if I use the reply feature of a message coming from the gmail server it asks for my log in password and sends correctly. The only thing I noticed in the settings is that I hadn't included a reply address in the box provided, I have done this now, I will have another go at posting to viphone@googlegroups and see what happens. How do I choose the option to send using gmail rather than my default account? Thanks very much for your help. Will keep you posted.

So you've just started using gmail with OE then? First thing would be to check if you configured OE correctly. Can you generally send and receive messages with gmail and OE ok? See this help page from google on how to check that OE is configured correctly: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13276 HTH, Amro ----- Original Message ----- From: Marie Baisez To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 9:40 AM Subject: [access-uk] How do I? Using Outlook Express, send a message from my Gmail account instead of my default account Neuf.fr? I go into the tools menu, choose the send menu and select the Gmail account to send all but the message I want to send stays in my outbox. What am I doing wrong? Because I subscribed to the viphone list using my Gmail address they don't accept my messages coming from the Neuf one. I thought it would be simple to send from the gmail account, evidently not, or, at least, I haven't sussed it out. Help please... Thank you in advance. Cheers now, Marie P.S. I have gmail set up to download my mail using Outlook Express automatically once I've logged in on the service. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5665 (20101201) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5667 (20101202) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
