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:


Stop using the test function in Outlook. Instead just send yourself an
e-mail and then try to receive it.

You did enable the POP option in your Gmail account, right?

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

Again, STOP trying to use the test function in Outlook. Just send yourself
a message to your own account.

For the username field (for logging on), I believe you must specify the
complete e-mail address, as in . No quotes, no spaces.

The error message you describe means that Outlook won't even bother to
establish a connection because the syntax for the E-mail field is wrong, so
check it again. The E-mail field is what get put into the From header in
your outbound message. Make sure you don't have it quoted or with leading
or trailing spaces. Try wiping it and reentering it carefully.
