I've just set up a gmail account to deal with my PBEM saves, so with the POP forwarding they will be recieved in a seperate Outlook folder - hopefully eliminating any missed messages like last week.

Paddy, AD i've pm'ed you two the new address.

I'll resend tonight

Thanks Mickeyj. I'm going to look at my setup tonight and I may switch to using my gmail account for PBEMs. I just have to figure out the POP3 forwarding thing...

Thanks for the invite Shogun, Mike had already sent me one so I didn't need it or use it.

I have no problems sending and receiving gmails from outlook, but can't seem to get my gmails into a separate folder system. Anyone know how to do this?

I'm after 2 sets of folders - one for my londonhome email address, the other for my gmail address.

[Paddy]

so how goes your gmail accounts?

[Andydog]

good, seem to work okay, except i can't get a sent gmail automatically moved from my outlook sent items to it's own sent folder. the best it does is creates a copy of the sent gmail.

on the other hand, it moves a received gmail from my inbox straight into another folder with no copying or other hassles.

i'm floating about 3 different computers at the moment, so if i get this sorted i'll always be able to access my saves and play no matter where i am.

My setup is bit easier. I just added the gmail POP3 to my Outlook 2003. Since I will only route messages in from gmail -- I have no issue with the SENT ITEMS as Andy indicated.

please send all mail to michaeldnelson A T i hate spam gmail dirty,dirty spammers D O T C O M

[Paddy]

this sounds quite useful afterall

[Shogun Gunner]

gmail has a huge amount of storage...one could keep all their saves without exceeding the storage limit...

[Mickeyj]

Resent to shogun

[Shogun Gunner]

190 BC to Paddy

[Paddy]

Paddy, I just gmailed you asking if you could send this to my new gmail address so I can play today sometime from work. I'm in between projects now so have plenty of time on my hands..

btw, I gave up on Outlook and gmails. I couldn't set it up so that the two folder structures were different, and I found I was spending too much time unnecessarily deleting copies of stuff etc.

So instead I set up Outlook Express for PBEMs via gmail, and normal Outlook with my usual email address for everything else.

Much much better!

I hope everyone's week is going nicely and you're not too busy at work. Myself, I think I'll drink pints and play pool over lunch!
