Try to connect Outlook 2003 to my gmail account

I am trying to connect Outlook 2003 to my gmail - Vista as an operating system account; However, I keep getting an error message that says that Outlook could not connect to the server of outgoing (SMTP) mail. I checked the configuration of both the POP3 (995) and SMTP (465), which have the parameters required by gmail.

If you care to compare your entries with the following...
The following is extracted from MS Office Online:
I guess you had no problem on step #3?
Have you checked step #14?

To use your Gmail e-mail account in Outlook, you must make sure that the POP3 support is enabled in Gmail, and then you can add it to Outlook.

  1. Sign in to your Gmail account.
  2. The top of Gmail, click settings.
  3. In the e-mail settings window, click transfer and POP.

    I don't see transfer and POP

    Gmail turns on support for POP3 users in phases. If transfer and POP does not appear, your Gmail account cannot be configured for POP3 support.

  4. In the POP download section, select enable POP protocol or all messages or Activate the Protocol POP only for messages coming in the future.
  5. Click Save settings.
  6. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click e-mail accounts.
  7. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
  8. Click POP3, and then click Next.
  9. Under user information, follow these steps:
    1. In the your name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people.
    2. In the e-mail address box, type your username to follow-up e-mail to @gmail.com.
  10. Under Server information, do the following:
    1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type pop.gmail.com.
    2. Mail server outgoing (SMTP) , enter smtp. Gmail.com.
  11. Under connection information, follow these steps:
    1. In the user name box, type your full e-mail address, including @gmail.com.
    2. In the password box, type your password.
    3. Check the Remember password box.

      Note  You can ask to have Outlook remember your password by typing in the password box and selecting the box Remember password . Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password every time you access the account. However, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase words, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh! and 5. Weak password: Maison27. Use a password that you can remember so that you don't have to write.

  • Click additional settings.
  • Under the tab general , under mail account, type Gmail.
  • Click on the outgoing server and select the checkbox My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication .
  • Select use same settings as my incoming mail server.
  • Click the Advanced tab, and then under the Numbers of Server Port for the Server incoming (POP3) and mail outgoing (SMTP), check the boxes this server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) .
  • Change the port number of the Server outgoing (SMTP) to 465.

    The port number of the Server incoming (POP3) should switch automatically to 995 , when you select the checkbox this server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) .

  • Click OK.
  • To verify that your account is working, click Test account settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be asked to provide or correct. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
  • Click Nextand then click Finish.

    • Notes

    • Do not select the checkbox to connect with authentication password secure (SPA) .
    • Unless specified by Gmail, all entries in Server and address are typed in lower case.

    • "sessions is expired" message often received when you try to connect to my Windows Live Hotmail account, why?

      I noticed a very bad trend of Windows Live Hotmail to generate the message, ' theSession has been exceeded' when I try to log into my email account.  It occurred when I just connected to my Hotmail account & need to reconnect, but also does not happen when I was offline for several hours and then try to connect to my Hotmail account.

      It quickly became more than a bother, and it got to a point I think seriously, just to close my Hotmail account altogether and go with another provider, or just use my ISP as my main email service.  It is enough, I will wait, wait and wait, Windows Live Hotmail bad to take its * old time to throw up its ads before I can even open an email in my Inbox!

      How about it Microsoft?  Care to explain this absurd mess?

    • How to make a button link e-mail 0.9 to open outlook instead of my gmail account

      I have windows 7 on a new computer and when I try to send a link, it goes to my account gmail rather than with outlook. This is a new computer. On my old computer with the same operating system the email link button opens my outlook account so that I can send the link. Does not include why it works on the old computer but not new.

      Try to go into the Firefox Options > Applications tab, then find "mailto" as a type of content and make sure that it is set to Outlook instead of Gmail.

I have the servers named pop3.gmail.com & smtp.gmail.com. Not checked: sign in using SPA. Logon username is my full e-mail address. Is verified by the server outgoing SMTP requires authentication & is marked just below on the use same settings as. Incoming POP3 is 995 & enabled SSL. Outgoing SMTP is 465 & enabled SSL.

    • How can I access the old (outlook 2003) emails stored on an external hard drive

      When I try to open outlook 2003 I get the message "the operating system is not currently configured to run this application

      When I try to open outlook 2003 I get the message "the operating system is not currently configured to run this application

      If Outlook 2003 itself (connected application) does not work?

      Office 2003 (which would be included in Outlook 2003) is compatible with Windows 7 (the forum in which you posted).

      If you have Outlook 2003 is installed - it should be able to open unless the installation is corrupted in some way - in this case, you need to re - install and update the application from the original installation and the Internet media (in that order).

      Once you are able to open Outlook 2003 once again, then you can try to open what I understand, it is an external hard drive PST (granted the file PST is NOT in a read-only State and is compatible with Outlook 2003 and is not corrupt anything either.)

    • Software BlackBerry made Blackberry connection problems with Outlook 2003?

      I tried to look through the forums to see if theres any other mention of this but could not find something but it definitely seems to be a problem with one of our PC

      My wife has a Win XP SP3 system and running Office 2003 and 2003 Ourlook which, until the installation of Blackberry link worked fine.  When she installed link BB and hung the BB Z10, there was questions first with him saying she had no Media Player installed... She did it... Finally after reinstalling the BB link a few times he seemed to get the message and was able to see Media Player... everything seemed fine, but I was puzzled as to why the link / Unit decided to create a new network icon for Blackberry virtual private network?  After using the link and its Z10 a few days ago she noticed that when she ran outlook 2003 on the system for some reason, she was unable to receive the incoming pop3 to his two accounts mail. She got the following error message...

      Task 'pop.gmail.com - receiving ' reported an error (0x800408FC): "the specified server name is found on the network (it might be down temporarily).» Please check that you are connected and that the server name is correct. »

      I messed around with the system for a few hours Googling the problem and changing the settings and then change their return but nothing seems to change... and then, after a restart (with not really changed parameters), he started working again?  Last night she again connected the Z10 and ran link synchronized music to his device and then tried to collect e-mails via outlook and he starts again giving an error?

      Although I am very HE warned I have only a limited knowledge of the comms etc but I think it might be something to do with the use of IPv6, we use Plusnet as an ISP and according to me, they work mainly on IPv4 currently, while we have installed IPv6 protocols check States online do not use us actually use IPv4 instead.

      I have so far not been able to solve the last problem that outlook always gives the show of error above, although on the verification of the account set up, it shows that it is configured properly and always allows him to send an email from outlook and she can always send and receive on the Z10

      Any advice on what to try to resolve this situation would be received with gratitude...

      Savel'evna

      Hey Savel'evna,

      Thanks for the quick response.

      I am pleased to see that we have highlighted in this one machine, if you will not tie the Z10 BlackBerry as modem then you can keep the VPN BlackBerry off.

      Another that what could it be causing a conflict with the BlackBerry VPN, to be honest, I have an application that causes problems with the BlackBerry VPN connection and I have to turn off sometimes.

      Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

      See you soon.

    • I get this error message every time I try to open Outlook Express: your server unexpectedly terminated the connection.

      I get this error message whenever I try to open Outlook Express:
      Your server suddenly put an end to the connection. The possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, secure (SSL): Yes, error number: 0x800CCC0F

      How can I solve this?

      original title: Outlook Express error

      Does OE open at all, or you get this error after opening?

      Check your mail at Yahoo.com and see which messages are still on the server that you have not received. The first online can be very large and cannot be downloaded. If you find such a message, read it and delete it online.

      In addition, you must disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
      http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

      Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
      http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

      Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.  You will probably have to do it.

    • Tour of blackBerry Smartphones and Outlook 2003

      Hey new to BB and trying to figure out how to get the email of my work on my phone. Just got a visit the other day and set up my GMail account and at work I use Outlook 2003. I can use Outlook Web Access to get my email to work at my computer at home (where I don't have Outlook). I've tried everything as time and time again to get the configuration of e-mail on the BB and it did not work. I called him and they have no idea why it won't work, and I talked to some * beep * at Verizon, and he said talking to HER and said that it should work, but won't. Another thing is, many of my colleagues have BB and enamel works very well for them - most of them have the curve. I don't think that we are on a company server. Also, I tried to download Desktop Manager on my work computer and that did not work.

      Any ideas on why this is not connect?

      can you confirm if your service COMPUTER not/do not have a BES? If they do not have a BES they would install just your account on the server and you sent a password for activation to activate the device.

      If they do not have a BES so you could try enter your outlook web IDs by following the steps in this KB article
