Enter your "Gmail password" in the 'Password:' field, and click 'Next.'

The OP did *not* say they were running a local protocol converter proxy,
like email2pop. I don't have a Gmail account but I've heard that they
provide POP3 access. So your instructions that say to use localhost as
the POP3 server would never connect to Gmail's POP3 server but instead
to some local POP3 server (i.e., proxy). As soon as I saw localhost for
the mail server, I knew the link was describing the wrong instructions.

Because Gmail provides POP3 access, there is no longer a need to run a
local protocol converter proxy, like email2pop, anymore than you need a
proxy to connect OE to a regular POP3 mail server. Better instructions
are are at:

I do not know if Gmail appends a promotional (i.e., spam) signature onto
your outbound e-mails when using their SMTP server. I know when you use
Hotmail and Yahoo to send e-mails using their freebie webmail service
that they stick on their spam signature that makes your e-mails look
amateurish. So I use my ISP's SMTP server for outbound e-mails. You'll
have to test sending outbound e-mails with Gmail's SMTP server to see if
they are clean of any Gmail promotional spam.

Get you Gmail server settings as follows:

Outgoing port to 465
Incoming port to 995
