Congrats to... anonymous. And Jason.

Now, for the Harvard-Westlake kids. Everyone hates checking Gaggle, if you do it at all. The site is slow and ugly. Wouldn't it be nice if your email program, such as Outlook Express, checked it automatically for you? And you could send and recieve all the email without having to go to Gaggle.net? Here's how to do it, in no particular order. The order that you'll be asked for this information will be different from program to program. You can figure it out.

In your email program, make a new email account.

Set the incoming server to Pop/Pop3, and set the name of the server to "pop3.gaggle.net" (no quotes). If it has an option for port, just leave it at the default.

Set the outgoing server to SMTP, and set the name to "smtp.gaggle.net" (no quotes). Again, leave the port at whatever the default is.

Your account name for both outgoing and incoming server will be your address. For example, "merrill.nicholas.09@hwstudents.com" (without quotes, in case you're not catching on to that pattern.

Enjoy. Email me with questions.

Note: This is not a "bypass" of the Gaggle system. You're still going through H-W mail, and all the same rules apply. Just because it's in your program, it is not "free of rules." All this does is save you a step by not having to go to Gaggle.net, and nothing else!

If I set the Incoming Server as Pop instead of Pop3, should the mail server still read "pop3.gaggle.net?"

Pop and Pop3 are the same thing, so yes.
