Hey all,
I'm trying to sign up for the free 15 day trial for voice on the go
and it keeps giving me email server issues.  Do you know if you need
outlook express to use this?  I keep setting the settings in my g mail
and g mail says pop is enabled for all mail but it still gives me
errors.  I'm already signed up I just need to finish creating my
account.
