Hi Janet; Below are some steps I copied from the Jaws-Users website quite some time ago. GMAIL works fine with JAWS. There are 2 things you must do to make it work.
In Outlook Express: 1. create a new account for your GMAIL by going to the TOOLS Account pull-down menu In the servers dialog enter the following: My Gmail account Properties Server Information My incoming mail server is a POP3 server. Incoming mail (POP3): pop.gmail.com Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com Incoming Mail Server Account name: enter your GMAIL account Password: ????????? Remember password (this should be checked) Log on using Secure Password Authentication (this check box should not be checked) Outgoing Mail Server My server requires authentication (this check box should be checked) Settings... OK Cancel Now in the ADVANCED dialog page do the following: My Gmail account Properties Server Port Numbers Outgoing mail (SMTP): 465 Use Defaults This server requires a secure connection (SSL) (this check box should be checked) Incoming mail (POP3): 995 This server requires a secure connection (SSL) (this checked also) OK Cancel Save this information Now while logged on your GMAIL ACCOUNT AT www.gmail.com click on any settings link and make sure that "POP" is enabled the gmail help can lead you to it. Now your gmail should work correctly in Outlook Express. Bob Verity Hope this helps. Take care.
