30 Days With…Google Docs: Day 4

When you make the switch from Microsoft Office to Google Docs, you don’t just lose Microsoft Word and Excel, you also lose Outlook. One of the first things I did to kick off the 30 Days With…Google Docs project is to set up my POP3 email accounts in Gmail so I can continue to receive and respond to email messages.

So, for any readers who may wish to follow in my footsteps, or who stumble across this project at some point in the future, we are going to take a step back today and go over the steps to add a POP3 email account to Gmail. As a side note, I tried this in IE9, Firefox, and Chrome, and the buttons and text did not render properly in IE9. I recommend using Chrome for this process.
