Anyone know how to forward all emails in an Outlook Express 6 account to a gmail account? I've been googling around but I can't find squat.

ideally you would handle this directly on thee server side. Log in to your ISP account online and see what email account options you have. There should be a way to handle it there.

hmm, that seems a little bit beyond my limited abilities - and definitely beyond my mom's. It's looking like she'll just have to bit the bullet and transition over to gmail without having her old email forwarded.

Thanks for the advice, though!

Ah yes listen James below I forgot about gmail's ability to pull from other accounts. You just need the login and password for her email address and go into your gmail account's settings. It's easy -- easier then the way that I mentioned though frankly my way is still fairly easy (depending on your ISP).

that should read go into "her gmail account settings"

Gmail will actually pull mail from other accounts for you:
