Help with Gmail

[Laura]

I have tried to connect my gmail account to Outlook 2002. When i click the
"test account settings" button, an error shows up that tells me "Sent test
email message: Unable to sent test Message. Please verify the email address
field."
I am positive that the email address is typed in correctly, so whhy the
error?!
Thank in advance.

Hello Laura

You could try the autoconfiguration tool for Gmail. You can find it here

Have you enabled the option on the gmail server to allow POP/SMTP access to
your gmail account there?

Hello A-C,

Actually I am installing everything as it is installed in my old laptop,
step by step. I can send messages from my old laptop, and I can't do it from
the new one.
I have done everything as adviced, but when I test the accounts a message
appears: "Sent test email message: Unable to sent test Message. Please verify
the email address field."

Thanks for any advice you could give me,

Steven

So have you verified that the email address is correctly typed? (And please
quote the post you are replying to - thanks)

This was my original problem. I am positive that the email address field is
typed in correctly and that POP is enabled in gmail.

i wil send the screen shots if you give me an email address to send them to.
