Windows Vista mail really sucks. Download Thundebird, it's from the same people who make Firefox, and it's free.



Here's how to add a Gmail account



If you don't have a Gmail POP account:



* Open Thunderbird, go to "Tools -%26gt; Account Settings", click the "Add Account" button, select "Gmail" and click "Next".



* Enter your name in the "Your Name:" field, and enter your entire Gmail address (yourname@gmail.com) in the "Email Address:" field. Click the "Next" button.



* Press the "Finish" button.



If you already have a Gmail POP account and want to add another:



* Open Thunderbird, go to "Tools -%26gt; Account Settings", click the "Add Account" button, select "Email Account" and click "Next".



* Enter your name in the "Your Name:" field, and enter your entire Gmail address (yourname@gmail.com) in the "Email Address:" field. Click the "Next" button.



* Select "POP" as the account type and enter pop.gmail.com in the "Incoming Server" field. If you don't want your Gmail messages to be stored in Local Folders, unselect "Use Global Inbox (Store Mail in Local Folders)". If it can use your default SMTP server it will tell you what SMTP server its using. If it doesn't or you want to use Gmail's SMTP server enter smtp.gmail.com in "Outgoing Server". Click the "Next" button.



* Enter your entire Gmail address (yourname@gmail.com) in both the "Incoming User Name:" field and the "Outgoing User Name:" field. Click the "Next" button.



* Enter a name (such as "Gmail") for your Gmail account in the "Account Name:" field, click the "Next" button and then the "Finish" button. There will now be a new account showing in "Account Settings" called "Gmail" or whatever you named it.



* Select Server Settings from the folder list below your new account.



* Change "Port" to 995.



* Find the Security Settings section and select SSL.



* Check the checkbox for "Check for new messages at startup" and "Automatically download new messages".
