Help with Gmail

[Guest]

I have tried to connect my gmail account to Outlook 2002. When i click the
"test account settings" button, an error shows up that tells me "Sent test
email message: Unable to sent test Message. Please verify the email address
field."
I am positive that the email address is typed in correctly, so whhy the
error?!
Thank in advance.

Hello Laura

You could try the autoconfiguration tool for Gmail. You can find it here

Have you enabled the option on the gmail server to allow POP/SMTP access to
your gmail account there?

It's way more than just entering the email address.

Make sure your settings match these:

Incoming server: POP.GMAIL.COM
Outgoing server: SMTP.GMAIL.COM

Under 'More settings'...
'Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication - YES
'Use same settings as my incoming server' - YES

Under 'Advanced'...

Server port numbers:
Incoming server (POP3): 995
Outgoing server (SMTP: 465

'This server required an encrypted connection (SSL) - YES.

Confirm that *ALL* of the above setting match yours before you hit the
'Test Account Settings' button.

help.

Assuming that you're trying to configure Outlook (2000 or later) for
Gmail access, perhaps the following screen captures will help:

Before doing any of this, make doubly sure you've logged on to your
Gmail account at http://www.gmail.com and enabled POP3 access.

Then, open up Outlook… Go up to 'Tools' / E-Mail Accounts and select
'Add a new email account'.

Use the settings I previously posted and if you do everything
correctly, you should be able to send and receive mail through the
Gmail servers.

If you can't, please be very specific. What message is Outlook
returning, etc.

Hello A-C,

Actually I am installing everything as it is installed in my old laptop,
step by step. I can send messages from my old laptop, and I can't do it from
the new one.
I have done everything as adviced, but when I test the accounts a message
appears: "Sent test email message: Unable to sent test Message. Please verify
the email address field."

Thanks for any advice you could give me,

Steven

Stephen, Laura…

When you hit the 'Test account settings' button, there are (5) things
it tests. What are they and what is the test result for each?

If you don't answer this question fully, I'm not going to assist you
any further.

So have you verified that the email address is correctly typed? (And please
quote the post you are replying to - thanks)

Sent test email message - Failed

Under Errors, it reads:
Send test email message: Unable to send test message. please verify the
email address field.

1) What precisely do you have in the email address field for this
account? It should be your complete Gmail address (<YOU>@Gmail.com)
nothing more, nothing less.

2) Are you 100% certain you have enabled POP3 access at Gmail.com?

3) Have you actually received any Gmail with Outlook thus far?

OK at this point... If you send me screen captures of each and every
panel you filled out in Outlook to configure this account (there
should be no more than 8, I'll look them over. (JPG please, *not*
BMP).

Be sure to include each screen under 'more settings' and all tabs
under 'Advanced'.
