  13. You should still be in the Accounts tab. You may want to set Gmail to reply from the same address a message was sent to. To do this, select the first option under "When receiving a message:"
  14. The Accounts tab is also where you can manually get the mail from your (mt) Media Temple account. Click "Check mail now" . You do not need to do this to get your mail; it just forces a manual check.
