Go to the website of your ISP, they will show you how to set um WLM. Use their setting for sending. You can use the name of your Gmail account to show as the "send to" for replies.

As always Dwarf has given very good advice. If you find however that the information provided does not work, it may be due to a situation that I had. The ISP, blocks the sending of mail via another email provider. If that be the case, try my suggestion, it worked for me.
