Hi,

I use WinXP Prof.
Using Google Mail alias Gmail.

I would like to use the "send to" function, in order to easily send files
via the internet.

I do not know how to set-up a webmail service on my PC. I only found the
standard setting for MS hotmail service. But no function to configure other
webmail clients that are pop enabled. I do not want to use OE (Outlook
Express), I soley would like to use a webmail client in connection with the
windows send to function.

Anyone an idea or hint for. I searched the newsgroups, the MS KB and Google
Mail help - all effort without luck!

Regards,
Dan

Is there a reason you don't log on to Gmail, click on the help, and read
about configuring the POP3 access and using the free Outlook Express
application send email? Is there a specific reason to use webmail for this?
If not then that's definitely the way to go.

Thanks for the rapid response, Galen:

Unfortunately, I want to avoid setting up an extra application that needs to
run in the background to actually send files.

In the meantime I want to stick to one enviroment, as the webbased app
supplies me with many relevant sorting features... Further more, I do not
want to use different GUIs (General User Interface)!

If it is availablefor hotmail, why not being able to set the same feature up
for another webmail client.

(I am already able to clcik onto mailto: links within my browser to use my
webbased email service...)

Or is it that MS wants to make it tougher on competing services and avoiding
integration into its already sold software (eg WinXP) in my case.?

I would be very greatful to gather a solution here. Is it that I need change
soemting in my registry? The service seems to be already there, just not for
my service, but for a similar one :)

At this time, Hotmail and MSN mail are the only HTTP clients that are
integrated into Outlook Express. Google is not one of those clients
although they (Google) have instructions on their website about how to
inegrate their mail into a POP3 account in Outlook Express at this link:

Then why are you posting your question to an OE-specific newsgroup?

Thanks for redirecting me. I was not aware of that there is better
sub-newsgroup.

It's been available for years, no companies have selected to utilize it.
It's called WebDAV and has eventually become a spammers paradise to script
and send email.

How do I make Gmail my default mail application?
