Sky/Google mail

ebaybaby

I am with Sky for broadband and have had problems getting my mail through Outlook express 6. I can either send or recieve but not both. I have checked and re-checked all the settings and they are all correct so I presume the problem lies with Sky.
I now view my mail through the Sky homepage, which I hate as Its not the most reliable. What Im wondering is, since they have merged with Google, can I view my mail through Google?
Ive tried logging in on Google Mail page but it is not recognising either the U/N or P/W??
Any ideas???

No you can't log into your skoogle mail from the gmail site.
What you can do, and this is what I do, is to get yourself a gmail account and forward your Sky mail to it.
I use gmail as my main email account and use it to collect not only Sky mail but also other legacy email accounts I have with Orange/tiscali and egg.

Hang on I'll log into Sky email and see what I did!

log into your sky email account.
go to settings, forwarding and pop
fill in the forward a copy of incoming mail to, insert your gmail address.
