Works for me! Don't use anything Microsoft (that's my rule!). I use Mozilla Thunderbird, and I love it, plus, it's free and by the same people (Mozilla) that make FireFox!

It lets you use external e-mail programs to access your e-mail, i.e. Outlook, Thunderbird.

I set mine up already, and it works great. )
Just remember, before you follow the instructions on that link, first enable pop access in your gmail acount after you login online.
