Setting up Gmail account to Outlook Express.

How do I configure my Gmail account with Outlook Express?

Setting up Gmail to Outlook Express is easy! Well, it's easy if you follow these step.

You can use Outlook Express to read and send email through your Gmail account.  This doesn't mean that you can't use Gmail on the web, you can use both by configuring it to leave a copy of your email on the web.

 Before you start configuring Outlook Express, ensure the POP access in your Gmail is turned on.  To do this, follow the steps below:
  1. Log on to your web-based Gmail account.
  2. Click on Settings which is on the top right corner.

  3. Click on Forwarding and POP and choose one of the below appropriately:
    • If you click on Enable POP for all mail, it will download all the existing emails that you have received before.
    • If you click on Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on, it will download the emails which would come in from now.
  4. Click on the drop down and select option "keep Gmail's copy in the inbox" to leave a copy in your web Gmail account.
  5. Click Save Changes and sign out from your Gmail account.

Now, open Outlook Express and follow the steps below:
  1. From the menu bar, select Tools -> Accounts.

  2. Click Add -> Mail.

  3. Key in your full name and click Next.

  4. Key in your complete Gmail address and click Next.

  5. On the next screen,
    • Select POP3 from "My incoming mail server" drop down menu.
    • Key in "pop.gmail.com" under Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server.
    • Key in "smtp.gmail.com" under Outgoing mail (SMTP) server.  Click Next.

  6. On the next screen, key in your full Gmail address and password.
  7. If you want your computer to logon directly to your Gmail account every time you start Outlook Express, then check "Remember Password" check box
  8. Click Next.

  9. Click Finish.
  10. Now select the newly created "pop.gmail.com" account and click Properties.

  11. Click Servers tab.
    • Ensure My server requires authentication check box is checked.

  12. Click on the Advanced tab.
    • Ensure the option "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)" is checked on both Incoming Server (POP3) and Outgoing Server (SMTP).
    • Enter 465 under Outgoing Server (SMTP) and ensure the Incoming Server (POP3) is 995.
    • Click OK.

  13. Click Close.

Now, when you click on Send/Recv, Outlook Express will start retrieving all the emails from your Gmail account.
