No.  Web-based email is not supported.

Kirk,

Might Gmail be supported in the future?

Is there a method to save images for web then transfer to gmail for distribution?

Thank you.

You can use a mail client to send via GMail with POP or IMAP.  I use Gmail with Apple Mail and it works fine.

Sam,

Does Apple Mail work with Windows XP Pro? Be interesting to understand how to set up a mail client or Apple Mail with Windows. Is there a post on setting up Pop3 to send to Gmail you are aware of? Thank you for your reply.

Apple's Mail application only runs on Mac OS X.  You should be able to use Outlook Express and set it up similarly to use GMail servers.  Then emailing from Photo Mechanic should work fine for you.

shuttrrbug....Gmail itself offers step-by-step instructions. Look in "Settings" for "Configuration instructions".

Exactly.  IIRC they have walk-through instructions  for a number of different email clients.

Mozilla's Thunderbird email app will work with GMail as Pop3 or IMAP.  It is available free for Linux and Windows.  Not sure about Apple.
