Microsoft Outlook 2007 with GMAIL accounts
Using a GMAIL account in Outlook requires specific settings both in the client and your account settings:
GMAIL Account Settings:
– make sure that IMAP/POP SUPPORT is enabled in your GMAIL Account settings (Forwarding and POP/IMAP)
note: ‘Enable POP’ will work as well but does not offer the folder views from the GMAIL server
OUTLOOK 2007 Account Settings:
– follow these recommendations to configure your Outlook Account settings
note: if you have opted for POP3, use the settings below:
Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com
Account Name: your_id@gmail.com (Note that it is your full email address)
enable “My server requires authentication”
Gmail doesn’t use default ports, the ports are:
SMTP or Outgoing Mail: 465 (use SSL)
POP3 or Incoming Mail: 995
enable “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)”
If you’re having trouble sending mail but you’ve confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 587.
