I checked at gmail and it appears that IMAP is the way to go. My only
question would be reagrding the incoming and outgoing servers. All my
existing email comes to my my original ISP (mail.vgernet.net). Can I keep
that as the incoming ISP and use the SMTP as gmail or must I do something
else.

Here is my issue. I really want to keep Outlook as my email program,
because it is so flexible--I'm a headhunter and it serves as my database. I
could go to Thunderbird (it works), but I'd rather not. Before I spend a
lot of time importing and exporting thousands of resumes, I want to see if
there is a way to get outlook back the way I like it.

Thanks for your help

I'm pretty sure, it's something to do with comcast. The same thing is
happening on another computer on the network. Are you saying set up
a gmail account with the same outlook and just using that for my
outgoing email.
Will that work in terms of my outgoing email still having the return
address of my business.


Yes, you can set the return address as anything you like, but google will
set the "from" to "real google addresss on behalf of your specified return
address). Get a gmail address and try it. If you need a gmail invite,
let me know.
