I use Gmail but I'm more familiar with Outlook format. If I use Outlook it moves my messages to the C drive. I need to access all messages from other computers.

--I have problems with the way G-mail works for typing messages. I am accustomed to using Outlook at work and when I type in G-mail, sometimes the message is sent before I finish due to me using the enter and tab buttons. --I tried using Outlook and configuring G-mail to automatically move messages to Outlook but when I do this, all messages I open are stored on the " C " drive of the computer I am using. --Since I work offshore 28 days at a time and use at least 3 different computers to access my email account, I need a way to use Outlook but still save all messages on the net so I can access any and all messages from any of the computers I use at work and at home. -- How can I set this up and still use my G-mail account?

hello Jim, this is a subject where we in firefox support cannot provide particular help. it's not a problem related to firefox and out of the scope of this forum. just as a general pointer: if you want your emails to be accessible in outlook and on webmail as well, you'll want to set up your account as IMAP-account, for more details and further help please contact gmail's support at https://support.google.com/mail.

thanks for your understanding!
