My ISP is Virgin and apart from my Virgin Email Account I also have a Googlemail address, I collect mail on both accounts using Outlook Express.

Can someone please tell me if it possible for me to send on the googlemail account using Outlook Express, or do I have to always go online to the Google page and log onto mail?

    Go into your Googlemail account, select Settings > Forwarding & POP/IMAP and then set Forwarding to your other email address.

    No.

    I send via Googlemail/Thunderbird/VM, as you are already using outlook express have you entered 'smtp.gmail.com' in the relevant boxes.
    You will have done the similar for VM.
    If that is done then select googlemail from the down arrow at the end of the 'From' line on the 'New message' page.
    Move along, nothing to see.
