Setting up new email account in outlook with Gmail

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003 and i have been trying to set up a new email account
from my Gmail (google mail) account and i keep getting a error message saying
it cant connect to either the incoming or outgoing servers. i have the
incoming server SSL set to 995 and the outgoing SSL to 465. i did everything
gmail told me to do.. and i was connected to the internet. can anyone help me
please.

thanks

Do you have any firewall (hardware or software) sitting between you & the
Internet that could be blocking those ports?

but they are both off.

What sort of error do you receive when trying to connect?

Can you telnet to those servers on their respective ports in a command
window and get the banner?
