Re: [JAWS-Users] [jaws] creating a gmail email account

Well, according to gmail help, they do support POP3, (Rick's instructions are from the support page) but it's not the default. You must go into gmail settings and enable POP3. However, I still maintain that IMAP is a better option.
I don't use Outlook, so I'm not familiar with their error messages, but that doesn't sound like a proper account, although that might just be a name given to the account. The actual account ID should be your full gmail email address.

Actually, I don't think g mail uses POP these days, could be wrong.
But as the Jeff said, IMAP is much more versatile than POP.

I'm not sure what might be going wrong, but if you want to access your

using IMAP rather than POP3.

Hi Andy,

Read Gmail messages on other email clients using POP


You can open your messages from Gmail in other mail clients that 
support

POP, like Microsoft Outlook.

Step 1: Make sure POP is the best way to read your emails

IMAP and POP are both ways to read your Gmail messages in other email
clients.


IMAP can be used across multiple devices. Emails are synced in real 
time.



POP can only be used for a single computer. Emails aren't synced in 
real

time. Instead, they're downloaded and you decide how often you want to
download
new emails.

Step 2: Set up POP
First, set up POP in Gmail
list of 6 items
1. On your computer, open
Gmail.
2. In the top right, click Settings
Settings
.
3. Click Settings.
4. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

5. In the "POP Download" section, select Enable POP for all mail or 
Enable

POP for mail that arrives from now on.
6. At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes.
list end

Next, make changes on your email client

Go to your client, like Microsoft Outlook, and check these settings.

go about setting it up so I can access it with OE on my PC?
