Hi Rachel.  Here is what a colleague sent me when I was attempting to do the
same thing.  I think it comes from the GMail web sight.  At any rate, I used
it and it worked for me.  There is however the need to go through one of
those "type what you see or hear" thingies.  

All the best.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Gmail and Outlook Express

Hi, everyone.
A friend of mine would like to know how to set up Gmail to work in Outlook
Express.  Also, she already has another account with a different ISP set up
in O.E. and would like to know how she'll be able to access both that
account and the Gmail one - meaning, I guess, how to switch between them.

We'll appreciate any help any of you can provide.
Thank you.
Rachel
