On the PC:

1. You have to have a gmail account setup on Google.
2. On your PC, log into your gmail account.
3. Click on the Settings link at the extreme top of the page.
4. Click on the Account tab.
5. In the "Send mail as" section, click "Add another email address you own"
6. Enter your COX or Comcast or Earthlink name and email address, such as my.name@cox.net
7. On the next screen, click "Send Verification". It will send a verification email to my.name@cox.net.
8. Open the email on cox.net (or whatever you have like comcast or earthlink) and click on the link to verify.
9. Back on the gmail main Settings/Accounts page, change your default "Send mail as" to my.name@cox.net.
10. You can mess with other settings like "When receiving a message", to set to whatever suits you.

On the PRE:

1. Go to the Login Settings for the email account you want to set up.
2. Set your Cox or Comcast or Earthlink incoming POP settings as you normally would for those accounts.
3. Set your outgoing settings as follows:
servername: smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: ON
USERNAME: your gmail login id
PASSWORD: your gmail password
PORT: 465
Encryption: SSL

All set to go. When you send from your COX account on your PRE, the receiver of the email will see it as coming from cox.net and when they reply it will go to your COX inbox. Works great.

"You can also use the Cox Web mail program, which can be found at http://webmail.cox.net."
