Auto configuration of Outlook 2010 beta - IMAP Gmail

[wenewcomb]

When 2010 beta autoconfigured gmail account, it made outgoing server
"imap.gmail.com" - should be - "smtp.gmail.com" (per Google) One result was
that each email send got a pop up saying that the server certificate was
expired and asked if it should still be used. Changing outgoing server as
described appears to have remedied this issue.

imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com are exactly the same server, so it doesn't
matter. Three seconds with nslookup would have told you that.
