My ISP says my Outlook 07 needs to be set up for internet ..

Hi DL
I have followed the instructions given by Gmail exactly and still cannot
connect. My ISP says it is a setting in Outlook 2007 that does not support
internet email which is why I cannot get Outlook to connect to my ISP or
Gmail. They say they cannot help with my computer settings as it is outside
their area. They did say I needed to go into add & remove programs and
enable internet mail in Outlook, but I cannot find a specific setting for
that and have turned on everything I can see to no avail. Do you know what
setting they mean and where I can find it?

Control Panel->Mail Icon->Accounts. Ensure you have a POP3 account
configured using your ISP settings.

If you selected an Exchange Account, remove it, install your POP3 account
and then follow GMail's account setup instructions.

The ISP is full of it. Outlook 2003 and 2007 do not have a separate Internet
mode. you just need to add your isp account as a POP3 or IMAP account,
whichever it is.
