  4.  This part is a little tricky.  GMail won't let you import mail from an account with the same name as your current GMail account.  So, don't put in your real email address; you should put  in a fake address such as fake@domain.com   Then click Next Step

    Enter fake email address

  5. In this step, you put in your actual email address in the Username field;  Enter your Penn Live password; select pop3.live.com as the server and port 995
