In summary, the conversation is about configuring Gmail in Outlook. The conversation touches on using other email clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, and the disadvantages of using Outlook. The conversation also discusses configuring other web-based mail services such as Yahoo Mail with Thunderbird. It is mentioned that Google's pop3 service may require an invite to use.

You might have to log into view these.
Auto configure Outlook
Configure other clients
As a sidenote, I suggest you use some other email client if you can. Consider Mozilla Thunderbird, for instance. Outlook isn't the best on security, filtering and stability -- and that's putting it lightly.

For yahoo, if you have a premium account then you can configure it to work with thunderbird with ease. However, if you have a free account, then you will need a program like yahoopops, or something similiar. Here is a thread for thunderbird that has links to some of the program websites. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53174

I have only had gmail for a few weeks now, but all I had to do was go into, I think, settings and change an option to enable pop3.dduardo said:
