Robbo - have you tried the GMail program for setting it up automatically that's on the Gmail website?

I use smtp.ntlworld.com they don't ask for Auth, and it's pretty quick too.

Removed and AOL is now working OK again... reason for all this is that I have an old AOL username on my mum an dads account but they r getting rid of AOL soon and I wanted a good name... Gmail gives a good one :)

Any open mail relay.

Most require you to be on the same network ie. dialled in or BB through the same people.

smtp.blueyonder.co.uk if you're a Blueyonder customer etc.

Trouble is, anything that is open is inviting spammers straight in.

Right, I have just configured Gmail to operate via Outlook (POP3) and all is fine BUT I tried sending myself an email and it doesn't appear anywhere, does if I log onto Gmail though :S

Now... I also have an AOL IMAP account setup and it has its own set of folders as it were... I'm using Outlook 2003 and I have personal folders (which it does't use for AOL) and then a seperate set of folders entitled impa@aol.com - which is what is used for the AOL stuff. So I changed the default to Gmail for the time being because I thought that would set Outlook to work with Gmail but it still won't appear... how come?! I have ran the test Connection and all is fine and my AOL is still working OK... I have also ensured that when I send the e-mail that it is sending via Gmail :S

Maybe I need to leave it 10 minutes to feed through?
