I am positive that the email address is typed in correctly, so whhy the

It's way more than just entering the email address.

Make sure your settings match these:

Incoming server: POP.GMAIL.COM
Outgoing server: SMTP.GMAIL.COM

Under 'More settings'...
'Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication - YES
'Use same settings as my incoming server' - YES

Under 'Advanced'...

Server port numbers:
Incoming server (POP3): 995
Outgoing server (SMTP: 465

'This server required an encrypted connection (SSL) - YES.

Confirm that *ALL* of the above setting match yours before you hit the
'Test Account Settings' button.
