I found the answer to our problems...!!!!!

I researched in the Microsoft knowledge base ( I should have done it
before).. I used the last error server code I was getting: 0x80042100B and
they recommend to install Microsoft Office Service Pack 3... The problem
comes from the fact that some SMTP servers utilise a SSL/SPA authentication
method that Microsoft Outlook 2002 does not support...

So.. just go he
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...bfd-6f69-4289-
8bd1-eb966bcdfb5e&DisplayLang=en ; download the file that you'll need...
(it'll depend on you having the original installation CD or not) and then
install the update... restart the computer and then try again... It'll fix
the problem...

It did to me!!!

Thanks for your answer...

I actually connect to the internet with a modem/router that also handles
my
VoIP phone... I also thought that the problem could be due to my
router/modem; then I opened the ports necesssary to retrieve the mail
465
and 995... (both UDP and TCP)... it doesn't seem to arrange the thing...
I
even tried to set gmail in another computer and it does the exact same
thing... it recognises all gmail servers, it logs onto them but it's
unable
to send messages... (

I'll try with Outlook Express and will let you know...

see if it works in OE - if so, then it's something in outlook and
probably
not the dot. If it also fails in OE, your isp could be blocking the
ports.

Hello everybody!

I'm experiencing a problem to retrieve email from Gmail on Microsoft
Outlook
2002.

I set everything the way Gmail recomends it... turning on the SSL
authentication for both SMTP and POP3 servers.. using ports 995 and
465
(respectively)... activating the SMTP verification for outgoing mail
and
when I push on the "Test Account Settings" everything is alright: it
finds
the outgoing mail server, the incoming mail server, it logs onto the
incoming mail server BUT (huge big) it's unable to send a test
message
e-mail... How is that possible ??? It sends the following error
message:

"Send test e-mail message: Unable to send test Message. Please
verify
the
E-mail Address field"

When check the E-mail address specified in the account settings
window
everything is alright...spelling, case, everything is there... but
it
keeps
saying that it cannot send that test message... I've already tried
deleting
the E-mail address and recreating the whole stuff -in case it would
be a
problem of corrupted configuration... It doesn't change anything..

Could it be linked to the fact that my gmail email address contains
a
dot
?
Does it come from gmail ? Heeelp!!!

Thanks in advance,

FRSNK
