Gmail & Aid4Mail

(1/1)

MamasBoy:
I have an ASUS desktop with Windows 8.1 and I use Gmail. Because I could never get my computer to recognize Gmail as my mailer, as this is essential with programs like Nuance's Dragon and  Copernic Desktop Search, I just   purchased Fooke's Aid4Mail in hopes this would clear up the problem.  No such luck. Is there something special I have to do to get the OS to recognize Gmail as my mail system?

superboyac:
If I'm understanding this correctly, you want the webmail version of gmail to be the default email handler.  This doesn't sound like the easiest thing to do, but try these suggesstions:

another way is to get a pop software for windows, like the Bat or Mailbird or thunderbird, and set that as your default email program with a gmail account.  That seems to be what most people do.
