Make Tnetmail or Gmail Resemble Your Old Outlook Account.

In 2009, Microsoft released Windows 7, but Outlook Express was not included in the new version. Many of our customers say that they miss using Outlook, so we brainstormed some ways to make Gmail or Tnetmail accounts better resemble Outlook. We came up with three easy tricks.

The first and easiest way to make your Tnetmail or Gmail account look more like Outlook is by activating the email preview option.
