Even with IMEP, Outlook 97 did not have full support for Internet Mail
transports. Explain why you think Outlook 97 could support a gmail account
and what protocol you are using.

Cross-posting to several lists, hoping to find some help:

I have had to reinstall Outlook 97 after uninstalling it some time ago.
I'm having problems connecting to my email account.

I have set up a profile called Outlook97. In this profile, I've set up
my gmail account with all the ports correctly configured. In Outlook
97, I've set this profile to be the default. But when I try to check
for mail, I get a box with only the Fax transport service listed.

I've downloaded the Internet email patch, but it doesn't seem to make
much difference.

I'm using WinXP, SP2. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
