|

Some people use a desktop client, especially in corporate environments where Outlook is king. In which we can add or assign our Gmail account.
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.
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.
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", change the Outgoing server (SMTP) port to 587, and change the type of encrypted connection to Auto.
Close the dialogs and go through the rest of the wizard and everything should be working.
Hope you have done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
