Problem with Gmail account

[arthur]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a Gmail account on Outlook 2002.
The incoming pop server is OK: I can get my mail.
But how can I send mail through the SMTP? I tried the automatic
configuration tool as well as the manual coonfiguration and it does not
work.
If I try to send an e-mail, I get an error message (in French):
La tâche "GMAIL - Envoi" a signalé une erreur (0x8004210B) : "Le délai
imparti à l'opération pour obtenir la réponse du serveur d'émission
(SMTP) a été dépassé."
Which means that the connection to SMTP is over timed.



So what can I do (I checked the SSL and the 465 port)?

I would re-read the gmail instructions then to resolve the problem.

Well, reading over and over the same thing won't help.
I went to MS Office KB : I had to download and install SP3, then modify
the registry and now it's fixed!
