Joe, If you go to Google and look around at the top, you will see link for Gmail. Click on it and you will be instructed on how to set up an *on-line* mailbox/account. You don't download the mail from this mailbox to your computer (mucking it up), it stays on-line. After much trial and tribulation with my old desktop computer, I decided to just use on-line mailboxes. They are handy because you can access your mail from any computer. They are not handy if your connection is down--fortunately for me, that doesn't happen very often. I have a Yahoo mailbox for my Journal work, but I've heard that there has been a problem with Yahoo thinking that all those posts from pianotech are spam, so it would be better to stick with Gmail for a pianotech mailbox.
