does wildblue support g mail?
WildBlue, Exede and Outlook all support the 800 pound gorilla, Gmail. You can set it up as IMAP or POP. I think Apple products like IMAP. I have had better luck setting up Gmail accounts manually rather than automatically, but that may just be me.
Is beyond me to get the simple task done, do I start in outlook or In G mail!
You start in Gmail by enabling the IMAP protocol there for your Gmail account (or ensuring that it is enabled). Then you go to Outlook and configure it to utilize the IMAP protocol - all pretty much as outlined in the links in the reply below.
Gmail also supports the POP protocol (an older one) but I think you'll find IMAP to be less confusing in the long run (the difference is primarily where your email messages are stored in the long term and whther they are synchronized across multiple devices - the Gmail server or on your machine, IMAP maintains the messages on the Gmail server allowing them to be accessed from any device or anywhere else using the Gmail browser interface)
