Add Your Gmail Account to Outlook 2007
Everybody loves Gmail, but some people use a desktop client, especially in corporate environments where Outlook is king. Adding your Gmail account to Outlook 2007 couldn’t be easier.
First we need to make sure your gmail account is set up to enable POP (Post Office Protocol). In Gmail just go to mail settings and choose the Forwarding and POP tab. Click on one of the options to enable POP.
Update: Note the drop-down that says what to do when mail is accessed with POP3. Please do NOT change this to “Delete”.
Now open up Outlook 2007 and go to Tools \ Account Settings…
Under Account Settings choose the E-mail tab and click on New…
Enter in all of your gmail account information **make sure there is no check next to Manually configure server…** You do not have to go through these extra steps. Just click on Next.
After Outlook has successfully configured the e-mail server settings you can go ahead and click Finish.
Go back to your inbox and hit send/receive and you are done!
If this doesn’t work
If you are having problems with the automatic setup, you’ll need to choose the “Manually Configure Server” option, and then fill in your details as follows:
Here are the important settings:
- Email Address: Your full gmail address
- Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com
- Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com (Note: If you have problems with sending email you may have to check with your internet provider, as they often require you to send email through their system.
- User Name: Your full gmail email address
Now you’ll need to click on the More Settings… button, and check the box on the Outgoing Server tab for “My outgoing server requires authentication”
Now switch to the Advanced tab, and check the box that says “This server requires an encrypted connection”, then change the fields to match these values:
- Incoming Server: 995
- Check the box for “This server requires an encrypted connection”
- Outgoing Server (SMTP): 587
- Change the type of encrypted connection to Auto, or use TLS if you have problems.
Close the dialogs and go through the rest of the wizard and everything should be working.

Hi,
I’ve been trying for days to make my email account to work with Outlook 2007 to no avail.
I’ve followed the whole procedure to set up Outlook 2007 to download my messages from Googlemail rigorously and nothing. There is no way that can I receive or send my messages via Outlook.
These are the error messages I get:

I always get an error message saying to verify my user name and password. And both have been correctly entered.
I no longer know what to do.
Any help?

Thanks for the tutorial… it was simple and very clear.
It has never been so easy – Thank you!
Thank you for your effort
Is there a way to add gmail’s archive functionality to Outlook–that is, as new items come into the inbox, can i push a button to send them to an archive? I like to keep my inbox clear of clutter; as it stands right now Outlook is storing all 800 of my emails in the inbox whereas on gmail.com, there are only the three messages that I want to be there. If I created an archive folder locally would this be reflected online?
Worked Great!
Microsoft made something simple?
ha-ha
This didn’t work for me!
Outlook cannot connect to the server.
I followed the directions verbatim.
Please help!
Thanks
Hey,
Thanks the directions were simple and great. But after i finished and got connected and everything, my gmail acount is not showing up in the email section on the left? any ideas?
top draw information, ta muchly, works a treat!!!
Hi,
I did everything you suggested for both Gmail and Outlook. However, in Outlook when I pushed the send/receive button, I got an error message that said 2 of the 4 items downloaded correctly. I got 2 errors that said:
Task ‘RSS Feeds’ reported error (0x8004010F) : ‘The operation failed. An object cannot be found.’
Task ‘RSS Feeds’ reported error (0x8004010F) : ‘The operation failed. An object cannot be found.’
The error message directed me to go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=68929 but nothing helped. I re-did the process but was still unable to get my pop mail to work.
Any suggestions? I am at my wits end, I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks.
i tried your way ….. nothing faild to connect …
i tried the POP3 server and change the SMTP setting and ports … nothing .
i have outlook 2007 with an exchange server with my company email, i added hotmail with no problem.
gmail does’t want to work !!
does Gmail work with Outlook 2007 or not !!
thnX guys.
I kept getting prompted for my username and password as well, and I followed instructions tp a “T” from MS, How-to-Geek etc… It finally worked for me when I went to gmail’s common errors, and it was some stupid thing called captcha. Unlock this captch and you should be good to go.

I’ve updated the article to better explain what to do when things aren’t working. It seems like a lot of ISPs block the different ports so auto-detection doesn’t work for some people.
well thats cool man, then this way it works ;)
Thanks…
Thank You. I knew i was missing some steps before. this really helped me.
Thanks Mate Worked Perfectly
is there a way to do this with a yahoo! account? can i forward a gmail and yahoo account to outlook?
Yahoo doesnt allow that, you have to pay actually.
But I have a @yahoo.co.uk account and its working fine.
I did everything you suggested for both Gmail and Outlook. However, in Outlook when I pushed the send/receive button, I got an error message that said 2 of the 4 items downloaded correctly and every few secconds I get a message saying to verify my user name and password. And both have been correctly entered.
THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX… love u love u love love u….. thanx alot…

hi
i’ve been following gmails (2003) and your instructions very carefully. Every time i click ‘send and recieve it wants me to enter my username and password. i have been doing that but it comes back up again and again.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Kevin
Make sure that you are entered your username as uesername@gmail.com and not just username
Hi, I added a gamil account with out any problem. However when I send the mail does NOT show up in the Sent Item box.
Using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2003, Gmail acct is default. Email is sent and is in the GMail site but not stored in Outlook Sent Items. Any tips greatly appreciated.
I used these instructions successfully. They were clear, easy to follow, and easier than google’s help. Thank you.

hi,
kindly help
i’ve tried the whole procedure but I always get an error message saying to verify my user name and password. And both have been correctly entered.
help please,
Great!
My issue with sending from through GMail is solved thanks to the port 587 reference here. I can’t believe this port was mislabeled(or I missed it) in so many other locations. I just wish I would have found you first! My new favorite bookmark. :)

Outlook cannot start because a data file to send and receive email cannot be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel.
I clicked it and have no idea what to do from there. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hey Team,
I have been trying to setup the Gmail account for my Outlook 2007. I have followed all the step.(POP3)
However my mails are not downlading in to my Inbox.
Initially I used to receive mails and cannot send mails from Outlook.
Can you please help me solve this problem permanently.
Thanks,
Neekesh
it worked for me
Hey great instructions thank you.
Thanks a lot. It worked for me!!!
Installed, migrated my Act! database and used Outlook 2007 w/ BCM for several days.
Then received the error message “Outlook cannot start because a data file to send and receive email cannot be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel.”
The .pst and .ost data files are in the indicated directory and show no signs of corruption.
What would I look for next?
this site help a lot thanks!
Fantastic tutorial! Is there a way to add a free yahoo account to Outlook 2007?
Hey Thanks heaps! i had no idea i would have to turn the pop on! was so confused why it wouldnt work!
Your quite welcome!
I just installed Office 2007 and when I first opened Outlook it a window popped up asking me to log onto this very old email I had with Outlook 2003 years ago. If I cancel out of this box, Outlook simply closes, but if I try to reinstall the same issue comes up over and over. It asks for my “Microsoft Exchange server” and then my “mailbox”. I tried using my gmail instead, but I can’t make it work. Any suggestions?

You need to remove all instances of Outlook 2003 before installation of 2007 … Your emails will not be lost. Just uninstall 2003 completely …. then throw 2007 on there. :-)
Hi, I have the same problem as Chelsea’s above with Outlook stating ‘Cannot open your default e-mail folders. the file c:\users\….\appdata\loca\microsfoft\outlook\outlook.ost is not an offline folder file . Howver this is a new laptop with XP and I have just installed my purchased copy of Outlook 07… Why is this occuring? I was successful when following your instructions on how to add my gmail account to Outlook. Thanks….
Penny,
Office 2007 has a feature which will run diagnostics on the installation.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/detect-and-repair-applications-in-microsoft-office-2007/
Also …. have you downloaded all the updates?
http://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2007/09/04/dont-forget-to-update-office-2007/
I would start with those steps. If you still are having problems you may want to make sure and uninstall all instances of 2003 and re install 2007
Thanks for your quick response! In the end I had to delete Microsft Exchange from Outlook and created a new folder for GMail under data files…
I love the website you’ve created, it’s extremely helpful and just by browsing through other forums I have picked up some extra tips along the way.
Thanks again!
hay help me am haveing tought time, am stupid enough even if you have explained all there am still having trouble.
I use gamail account : silvermoonsilver@gmail.com
I am using local ISP( ADSL): TOTonline.net
how do I set up outlook account by using above email and ISP
please help
I tried multiple sites to get gmail to work in outlook 2007, including Microsoft’s site, and yours was the only one that worked! Thanks so much.
I have tried everything in the tutorial but I still can’t get it to work…All my info in correct including ports, I have tried imap and pop it still won’t connect. I had no trouble with 2003….What am I doing wrong or missing?
Brandi
Yah! The Info you provided worked out thank you
I did this exactly… I have office 2007 ultimate that i purchased through the Ultimate Steal program. when i click Inbox under my personal folders. i get an error message. The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart outlook.
and then in the inbox field where mail usualy pops up it says cannot display information. If i create another pst file I can have my gmail account under its own set of folders. But i wish to read my email from the default inbox personal folder like i always have before with outlook 2003. I messed around with IMAP and POP3 and even with another email provider to troubleshoot this problem but i always get the same error. It does however let me read junk email out of my personal folder. I have mcafee installed and thought that may be somewhat the problem? please any help!!??
This tutorial was great. I actually just switched to Gmail because I tried to set up Outlook to receive Yahoo mail and found out that I could only use Outlook with Yahoo Mail Plus. Thanks for this. It was super easy!! :-)
Thanks Jamie! Glad you switched to Gmail!
It was interesting to see that Yahoo turned down M$ offer….
I followed all the steps and all the settings and everytime I send/recieve it prompts me for the network password within like 1 second of hitting the botton. Please how do I fix this issue.
Email me with the results of this fix please
Hello friends,
I saw the instruction, and stept by step I did it. Finally after years ;)
Great work maddy!!!
that was easy…
thanks
well is anyone planning to help me out with the question i wrote earlier?????
This was just a little TOO easy. I can’t believe it. You’d think GOOGLE could have told us how to do it, but they stop at v2003.
Strange… thanks!
@ cjb … This is just another example of why we are here! Thank you for the comment!
Thank you very much it worked great, so how many emails am I going to get now?
It worked like magic. Thank u guys
I till have the same problem like before and still trying it hard hahahah….. hmmm may be one day it might work
Thank you for food info. :)
Awesomeness. Thanks SO MUCH you guyz!
Thank you so very much. My ISP Wildblue changed to g-mail and I could no longer use Outlook 2007 even though I was able to make the Outlook 2000 work. Wildblue is currently in total chaos and incapable of help. So your advise was a Godsend.
Tania
@ Tania … I also live in a rural area where Wild Blue is sometimes the only option for people. I have not been too impressed with their service at all. Glad we could help you out though!
For you that are stilling problem you may need to chage the outgoing port to 465
Thanks for the good info. Easy to follow instructions that do work, you only need to read them correctly.
thanks, you have solved my problem.
nice of you.
THX 3BS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Does Gmail IMAP works with outlook 2007 when I have my company email (exchange account) set up?
I tried a lot….. no good news.
I think imap works in direct internet connection, however it fails in proxy.
any idea how to use it in proxy network?
I have been trying for hours maybe days to get the following scenario to work and I have failed miserable. I am trying to get Windows Vista & Outlook 2007 to work with my Gmail account. I follow the directions to a T on the gmail website for Server and client and to no avail. It says it cannot connect to the pop.gmail.com.
AhhhhhhhH!
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the advice, worked at perfectly.
Nice and easy to follow.
shame our IT department in work haven’t found this site :-)
Works perfect in Outlook 2007. Thanks for the help!
Hi friends… I usually post in forums when I am stumped and need a solution. In this case, I just want to add my two cents. I was trying like most of you to add GMAIL to my OUTLOOK 2007. I could receive emails but could not send. I would suggest you try this: first of all, in the USER name box type your FULL email address. Then under the ADVANCED tab, change the Outgoing server (SMTP)to 587. I can see you shrug… you’ve seen that advice already… HOWEVER, you may have skipped a very important detail! Don’t forget to check BOTH BOXES “this server requires an encrypted connection”. Enjoy, Chris in the Republic of Panama.
I have followed your instructions to the T, when i test the account settings it logs into the incoming mail server fine. When it tries to send a test email message it times out. Any suggestions??
Matter of fact it displays this error:
Send test e-mail message: The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
I used the following settings for my configuration Pop3 = 995 and Smtp = 465
Hi Ky-Mani,
Have you read my post? I would suggest you try this: first of all, in the USER name box type your FULL email address. Then under the ADVANCED tab, change the Outgoing server (SMTP)to 587. I can see you shrug… you’ve seen that advice already… HOWEVER, you may have skipped a very important detail! Don’t forget to check BOTH BOXES “this server requires an encrypted connection”. Also, why are you using SMTP = 465 instead of 587?
Good luck!
Thank you so much for your help!! :)
4 days trying until I founded your tutorial
Thanks from Chile
Great ! its working thanks a lot
Working Nice! Thanks
Hey there, thanks mate, i followed googles way and i could only receive mail and not send. so i deleted the account and followed ur tutorial and working fine now
thanks a lot bud
Vader
Hello,
After using the above configuration i can receive but i cant send and emails from outlook. Any suggestions. I am using windows xp, office 2003.
Hello again Ky-Mani… Maybe you could be a little more precise. What do you call the above configuration? Have you tried the steps I suggested to YOU? I had suggested to try this: first of all, in the USER name box type your FULL email address. Then under the ADVANCED tab, change the Outgoing server (SMTP)to 587. Don’t forget to check BOTH BOXES “this server requires an encrypted connection”. Also, why are you using SMTP = 465 instead of 587? Please try 465, then keep us posted. Thank you! Chris, in the Republic of Panama.
OK Ky-Mani, that was a typo… Please use SMTP=587. Good luck!
This was great, thank you for your help.
Thanks for the tips. It really helped me out.

This site is very useful, but I am still having trouble. I am trying to configure my Outlook 2007 to send and receive emails for my Gmail account. I have tried various combinations and am able to get a test message through, but still am getting the error on the incoming mail server “Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): The connection to the server failed.”
Just in case it is relevant… I successfully have my Gmail syching via IMAP with my iphone.
Hi Jackie, yes this site is very useful… However, I had followed all the steps and I was stuck… After some additional experimentation, I managed to successfully use GMAIL with Outlook 2007. It can work… you may only be a very small detail away… You may want to go back from scratch and take every little step one by one again. Just out of curiosity, have you tried this: in the USER name box type your FULL email address. Then under the ADVANCED tab, change the Outgoing server (SMTP)to 587. Don’t forget to check BOTH BOXES “this server requires an encrypted connection”. I am not trying to steal the fire from the wonderful soul who started this post (without him, I would not achieved anything) but what I am trying to convey is that I was one stupid little detail away from success… In my case, I had originally checked only one of the two boxes! Maybe Ky-Mani is in the same situation, but I’ll probably never know…Take care, Chris in Panama.
Thanks! It was useful… thanks :)
Thank you!!
THX MEN!!!! YOU ROCK MY SOCKS
Thanks Daptin. I started from sctach again and have followed all of the instructions and double checked each of the things that you have mentioned. After about 2 hours of trying and double checking, etc… I am getting two errors – the logon to incoming mail server (POP3) and test send outgoing message both failed. I had gerry-rigged it the other day to at least be able to send but not receive – now nothing.
Thanks – Jackie
Hi Jackie, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful… I am not even a techie, but after trying and trying I found a trick that worked for me. I was so close to success but I was bumping my head like a bee on a window, until I tried it. One thing is for sure, this is perfectly doable. However you might have some program in your computer which clashes with Outlook. Keep trying what I did: trial and error. Hopefully some of the real experts in this forum can give you a hand. Best, Chris
This is amazing. I am not tech savvy at all but this works. Thank you!
I got an error message stating “Task ‘pop.secureserver.net – Sending’ reported error (0X800CCC92) : ‘Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password in your account properties.” although the username and password were correct.
Please help…
I have configured my gmail to outlook 2007.Everything working fine but i am getting same mail twice to my outlook.plz suggest me.
Followed the instructions and was able to get my email on outlook. Thanks
You have to click send/receive button to update changes for your outlook mail.
For those of you who have followed these instructions over and over to no avail… I spent hours trying to configure my outlook to synch with Gmail – it worked on my home computer but not my work computer. Ends up that we called the ISP (internet service provider) and their default configuration was set to favor their own email program. Once they made some changes, these directions worked great.
Dear Friend,
Thank you for the help.. I tried the Automatic configuration procedure… It worked perfectly…
Good luck.
Thank you for your help. It worked perfectly.
I always get an error message saying to verify my user name and password. And both have been correctly entered.why it happen?what should i do?
Hey! Good job mate… Everyting worked perfectly
Hi, everyone:
I just set up my Outlook 2007 to send/receive through my gmail address. It seemed to work fine at first as all my previous messages in gmail showed up in Outlook. However, I noticed today that I have new gmail messages that did not show up in Outlook. What gives?
Seems pointless to have Outlook if I have to log on to gmail anyways.
Thanks for the help and sorry if this was discussed before.
Nevermind; I’m simple.
Outlook is downloading the new messages, but was putting them in Spam or Junk mail. I just need to change the message settings.
Sorry.
Can someone help me here… I can send emails from my outlook but cant receive any… all the emails I am sending to my gmail account are getting stored in my gmail inbox and are not getting downloaded in my outlook…
CAREFUL!
The moment you click finish, this will start downloading your gmail to Outlook, and REMOVE MAIL FROM SERVER. The point (one of them) of gmail is to not have to delete mail. Better to connect with IMAP.
And if you used this POP3 method and removed your mail from the server, then delete the account and connect with IMAP and drag and drop the mail back to Gmail.
it didnt work with my outlook… ooooh desperado me…. T_T
i always get this messages everytime i tried to connect to gmail:
- Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Cannot find the e-mail server. Verify the server information in your account properties.
- Send test e-mail message: Cannot find the e-mail server. Verify the server information in your account properties.
help me please…
Thanks before guys….
Awesome finally an expert,,, I get it!!!!! Your are the man buddy
Thank you for your help.
Great Info. very easy to follow and configure.
Hi, Works perfect.. Good…
Nice explination
ONC
thanks this site rocks… this is of great help
Thank u very very much its working perfectly
Great working perfect
I followed the instructions exactly — both the automatic and “If This Doesn’t Work” approaches — and was still asked to verify username and password like several others here.
Then I read Cam from Calgary’s note about unlocking the CAPTCHA, followed her link, typed what I saw, submitted, and went back to square one. Worked perfectly on the first try. I’m suggesting that unlocking the CAPTCHA be covered in the article proper. Thanks to all!
How come I have to hit the send receive button everytime I need to see my e-mail?
I thought that once I set up the account the email I receive would load automatically.
I am I missing a step to the process or do I just have to go to the send receive button everytime?
I don’t know about that, but you should use IMAP, not Pop3
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/use-gmail-imap-in-microsoft-outlook-2007/
With Pop3 (set up automatically as per this article) emails will be downloaded from Gmail to Outlook, then (by default unless you change) deleted from Gmail.
With IMAP, Any computer connected will Mirror the folder (Tags) structure in Gmail. Much better arrangement.
Hi,
I added gmail successfully to my outlook. But now it’s downloading tons of old mail into the inbox that’s taking forever. How can I stop it from downloading all the old mail?

Up and running 1st try. Awesome Directs. Thanks!
Thanks!

works fine
Hi the above steps are really helpful, i have not come across any problems and the outlook works absolutely wonderful with gmail.
Thanks
Thank you friend..
The above mentioned steps were so helpfull.
I’ve been trying for days to make my email account to work with Outlook 2007 to no avail.
I’ve followed the whole procedure to set up Outlook 2007 to download my messages from Googlemail rigorously and nothing. There is no way that can I receive or send my messages via Outlook.
I always get an error message saying to verify my user name and password. And both have been correctly entered.
I no longer know what to do.
Any help?
and the message apears when i try to send recive is as follows
Task ‘ssiddharthareddy@gmail.com – Receiving’ reported error (0×80040900) : ‘The server name you entered cannot be found on the network (it might be down temporarily). Verify that you are online and that the server name is correct.’
Great… Works amazing….
Also it would be good to mention about whether the copy of the mail need to retain on the server or not…. I figured that out since i had a very bad experience in the past..
Cheers …. it works amazing for me…
I had g.mail set up in Outlook Express and loved it. I got a bad virus and lost everything on my computer. Now that I am back on line (with Norton installed) I can only get gmail in IGoogle, which I don’t like. How can I get my old account set back with Outlook Express along with all my old information like address book and saved emails?
Hi,
I have managed to setup my Gmail in Outlook 2007 and i’m using Vista.
Sometimes it’ll say downloading -of- but not all emails come into my inbox but they’ll be deleted out og my inbox on gmail.com
Please let me know how i can solve this problem
Thanks for very useful information
Note if you are in a corporate environment trying to integrate Gmail to outlook that has Exchange setup in it. You may need to add some entries to your host file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder
209.85.133.109 imap.gmail.com
209.85.133.109 smtp.gmail.com
then add this ip to your routing table using the route add call from a command prompt.
you have no idea how many websites i tried and none of them worked except for this one. thank you very much
I’m getting wordless after getting your help. THa….n…..k..???? Really I have no words to say THANKS. How I have to say, I will find out and write to you. Once more THa….n…..k..???? for your help.
Hi! Thanks A TON! :-) Love it! Now I can get my emails without using the internet!
I’m using MS Office on 2 computers. I configured it to leave a copy in Gmail and it does but only one MS Office 2007 program will get it, it can be either computer depending which one is first running MS Office 2007. I’ve tried doing the imap thing but then no email at all transferred. ???
Thanks so much for this, worked a charm.
thanks a lot
it works in 1 try
I am using the Outlook, ent & Receiving are ok, but mail not sent
pls replay to me
Thanks it was very easy…
Hi,
I’ve been trying for days to make my email account to work with Outlook 2007 to no avail.
I’ve followed the whole procedure to step by step configure your Gmail account on Microsoft Outlook 2007 .
Strongly suggest using IMAP over POP3, esp for Dan as I think it will solve your problem.

i am deeply grateful to you for ur guidance
Hello,
I recently installed Microsoft Office 2007. I wanted to use Outlook 2007 and all emails tranferred over. However, none of folder tranferred over from gmail. All email loaded in my Outlook inbox, and nothing was filed like it is in gmail. What a nightmare trying to re-sort and file.
Any ideas how to make gmail file folders tranfer and file emails correctly in OUtlook?
I printed out gmail’s 4-page instructions on ‘how-to’ set up my gmail account (with gmail’s recommended IMAP for account type … not POP3) with Outlook 2007. Outlook & gmail BOTH indicated that I did it correctly, and I am NOT getting any error messages. I can clearly hear the familiar incoming-message ‘chime’ tone, announcing that I am receiving all my new (test) e-mails … but nothing ever shows up in my inbox?! HELP??!! (I would PREFER to stay with the IMAP Account Type because gmail recommends it over POP3 … but if going the POP3 route is the ONLY way to get my Outlook e-mail working properly, I will switch) Thanks for your help! Mark
This is just a follow-up to my earlier question concerning ‘nothing showing up in my Outlook inbox, despite clearly hearing the in-coming ‘chime’ ?! I have attempted to ‘login/signup’ with your site, and you sent me my new Password to my gmail/Outlook inbox. I clearly heard your incoming ‘chime’ alert, but still nothing in my inbox. I also signed up for your Newsletter, and clearly heard your e-mailed confirmation ‘chime’ alert … but again, nothing in my inbox.
Working Great and Thank you so match.
Work nice, thank you
thx a lot it was really help full love you thank you once again

hi,
I formatted my PC, and backed up all my mail folder. I want to add my Gmail account to Outlook 2007, but i dont want him to download all the mails in my incoming folder in Gmail (since i already backed up those mails that i had, and i intend to import them…).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

If I use gmail, and I choose to leave copies of each mail on their server, and I download them using POP mail into MS Outlook 2007, [how] can I have another computer using also using MS Outlook 2007 be able to download a copy, too?
Thanks to Woody, for his answer (suggesting IMAP) to Dan, but that didn’t work for me, yet, either… what would the advanced settings be, so that I can set them manually?
Thanks, again!
Oh I did the port #s (993 IMAP on incoming and 587 SMTP on outgoing) but forgot to do the type of encryption (SSL on in and TLS on out).
Now it works!
It worked! Thank you so much…
Mark,
I get the chime in outlook 2007 as well. But no email actually comes in the inbox. Did you ever figure out what settings will fix this?

Thanks for the tutorial… it was simple and very clear.
I have been trying off and on, for weeks, to set up my work email in Outlook 2007. Followed Outlook’s instructions as well as my company’s server instructions. Could receive mail but could not send. I finally did a Google search and found this forum. Even though your tutorial was directed at gmail accts, I decided to try your suggestion of changing the Outgoing Server (SMTP), under the Advanced Tab to 587 and “Eureka” everything worked! Thanks so much! I am adding your site to my favorites.
Thanks for your configuration, i have successfuly create my ms office outlook 2007, its workin fine your suzition is very good & very esey to use.

Hi,
I have a small problem is getting back my emails after the process. I was using an exchange server so all my outlook is in .OST files. I am now in a different location where I cannot acces the exchange server. What can I do. Is there a way I can convert my outlook 2010 ost files into outlook 2007 pst. Thanks for helping. Looking forward to hearing from you.

To all who is having the same massages asking for your username and password constantly…
I DID IT THIS WAY.
i can see two group of ppl here… the first group saying that article was help full to them and it works
perfectly and the second group not happy so far.
i was from the second group till today morning, the error massages keeps popping up asking me for my user name and password (which is definitely correct) and never connected to my gmail.
there is a samll trick to do it.
First after you’ve done from Google settings as shown above, you need to close your Microsoft Outlook, then you go to your “Control Panel” and search for the icon “Mail” there
****you will not have this icon if you don’t have Microsoft Outlook installed in your machine Correctly.
After choosing “Mail” click on “New Account”. at this moment you will be having the same screen shot which is included in the article above, keep going through the steps mentioned and click finish.
My problem was i cant reach this window through the Outlook itself, so i have to do it this way, specially once you need to “Manually configure service setting”
Hope that helps.
This really worked great
Hi,
I did everything you suggested for both Gmail and Outlook. However, in Outlook when I pushed the send/receive button, I got an error message that said 4 of the 8 items downloaded correctly. I got 2 errors that said:
“Task ‘almas@sazehpardazi.com – sending’ reported error (0x8007000E) : ‘Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.’
“Task ‘almas@sazehpardazi.com – Receiving’ reported error (0x8007000E) : ‘Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.’
“Task ‘sazehpardaziiran@gmail.com – sending’ reported error (0x8007000E) : ‘Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.’
“Task ‘sazehpardaziiran@gmail.com – Receiving’ reported error (0x8007000E) : ‘Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.’
Any suggestions? I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks.

I can access my gmail from the browser but not from outlook express. the setting are all correct and gmail POP is enabled. I did have trouble remebering my account password and finally reset my password. Has this created a problem like lock out from any program except the browser?
Thanks for this useful information. I have been using Outlook for 12 years and don’t see how anyone lives without it. I just started using Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager and would like to add an email account to use just for Business Contacts. Using the steps outlined above, can I add a second email account and have that account automatically be used when sending emails to and from Business Contact Manager? I know that my corporate email account allows integration with Outlook 2007 because I have already set up another PC in our office for someone who did not previously use Outlook with his corporate email address. The difference, of course, is that he only has one email address on Outlook and I want to use two.
Thanks for your help.
