There are still lots of features not supported that gmail might require,
like authentication for example.

Even with IMEP, Outlook 97 did not have full support for Internet Mail

account and what protocol you are using.

Well, Gmail requires SSL and setting the ports appropriately. Outlook
97 does both of these things.

As far as protocol, I'm not sure what you mean. My gmail account is a
pop3 account, supported by Outlook.

Your first comment may explain it all to me. If full support is not
given, even though I can set up my gmail account correctly, then perhaps
I need to move on.

Thanks.
