Using Outlook with Gmail

[Guest]

Hi - I am trying to connect my outlook with my Gmail Acc, I have followed the
instructions of both Google & MS to the letter, when I run a test account
settings, it runs and completes all checks up until the last one which is
"Send test email message" and returns the error message "Unable to send test
email message, please verify the E-mail Address field" - everything is
correct though - can anyone help? Many Thanks

Check your firewall. Because Gmail (googlemail now due to the lawsuit I
guess) uses alternative/non-standard ports you'll likely need to configure
special settings for it.
