I'm confused (a little) by the gmail-related information provided by
your provider

High Speed Internet Services for Remote and Rural Canada - OmniGlobe
Broadband - Manitoulin -
http://www.omniglobebroadband.com/site/manitoulin_faq.php#14

-- Can you provide email addresses and if so, how many? - A. We have
partnered with leading Internet company Google in order to provide our
subscribers with up to 5 OmniGlobe-branded Gmail email accounts. These
each come with 6GB of storage.

Then the provider provides an email instructions .pdf which contains
conflicting screenshots and text, in which the screenshots depict the
subscriber using a gmail address and the text shows the subscriber using
an omniglobe.ca email address. Maybe the .pdf is derived/created from
gmail instructions by omniglobe.

omniglobe.ca does not have an MX listed as such. If you contact
omniglobe.ca on port 25 it answers as atlantic.sibername.com -- which is
because omniglobe.ca DNS 209.44.98.50 which rDNS atlantic.sibername.com
which is not a good configuration for a mailserver for a omniglobe.ca
address.

However, the same faq steers the omniglobe client to a webmail frontend
at mail.omniglobe.ca which is a google page.

So, I'm not crystal-clear on what google/gmail and omniglobe are doing
for/with each other vis a vis omniglobe usernames.

A normal free gmail account has about 7.5G of storage.

Both Outlook and Outlook Express can POP Gmail accounts. See the Gmail Help
area for instructions.
