RE: Thunderbird And Pop3

You can definitely configure Outlook to send mail via a Gmail account and
also to pull mail from the Gmail account. Did it a long time ago - it is
still working. Cant remember all the details, but essentially you add the
account to Outlook. I found the instructions somewhere on the Gmail site. I
would assume that something similar would work for Thunderbird.

Eh, I think I found it in the Gmail Help Center: "Configuring your email
client: Thunderbird 0.x".

Hmmm, maybe I'll give this a shot when I get home.

I have to wonder, though.  How/why does gmail do this if I never have to see
the ads?  Doesn't that kind of blow their ad revenue?
