My friend and I share a gmail account. She is from the US and is on business in Kuwait. Gmail wouldn't let her log in from the foreign location. Can I change settings so that gmail will allow her to log in and send emails?

The Data Liberation Front is a quasi-independent effort at Google to help you free your data if you desire.
It's easy to use a different email reading program with Gmail using either IMAP or POP, or to get all your mail out to take to a different provider. Go to the Settings page (link at top right of Gmail page), Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
You can go to the Settings> Accounts and Imports and set the settings as shown in the screenshot below:

Best Answer
At the bottom of your inbox in Gmail there is something that says "Last account activity:"
Directly under that there is a link "Details"
If you click this link it should pop open a new window with the activity log.
At the bottom of the log it will give you the option you are looking for.
"Alert preference: Show an alert for unusual activity. Change"
If you request that an alert be generated,
it is my understanding that "strange" access attempts may be prevented.
Obviously, there are safety implications to disabling such an alert.
