Trying to connect Outlook 2003 to my gmail account

If you care to compare your entries with the following ......

The following is excerpt from MS Office Online :

I assume you had no problem on step #3 ?Did you check step #14 ?

To use your Gmail e-mail account in Outlook, you must first make sure POP3 support is enabled in Gmail, and then you can add it to Outlook.

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. At the top of any Gmail page, click Settings.
3. In the Mail Settings window, click Forwarding and POP. I don't see Forwarding and POP

Gmail is turning on POP3 support for users in phases. If Forwarding and POP does not appear, your Gmail account cannot be configured for POP3 support. 4. In the POP Download section, select Enable POP or all mail or Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on. 5. Click Save Settings. 6. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts. 7. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next. 8. Click POP3, and then click Next. 9. Under User Information, do the following: 1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people. 2. In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name followed by @gmail.com. 10. Under Server Information, do the following: 1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type pop.gmail.com. 2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type smtp.Gmail.com. 11. Under Logon Information, do the following: 1. In the User Name box, type your full e-mail address, including @gmail.com. 2. In the Password box, type your password. 3. Select the Remember password check box.

    **Note**  You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the

Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down. 12. Click More Settings. 13. On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Gmail. 14. Click the Outgoing Server tab, and then select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box. 15. Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server. 16. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Server Port Numbers for both Incoming server (POP3) and Outgoing server (SMTP), select the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) check boxes. 17. Change the Outgoing server (SMTP) port number to 465.

The **Incoming server (POP3)** port number should change automatically to

995 when you select the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) check box. 18. Click OK. 19. To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. 20. Click Next, and then click Finish.

Notes

• Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.
• Unless specified by Gmail, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters.

I am having the same issues as MikeWright777. However my outlook was working back in September but I had to be off work for 2 weeks and my company got into my email and changed my gmail pw. Outlook worked 1 day and then started coming up with the view that shows the username and the pw. Now it won't work at all. I tried to get help from Microsoft but they want $99 to help or their other suggestion was to reinstall Outlook. So that is what I did but it's still got the same issues. I really LOVE outlook and don't like gmail so ANY help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a similar problem connecting gmail to outlook. I recently upgraded from Widows 7 to Windows 10. So am very new to outlook. I have tried the full advice given, however, I receive the following Error message " Log onto incoming server(POP3): The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues contact your server administrator or ISP." I already have a BT internet account connected to Outlook which I think(/) is via IMAP....don't know if this is/will cause an issue?Any advice would be welcome.

I have tried both passwords that I have used in the past with gmail.  I recently changed from XP to Vista.  Can you help?  I can't open my e-mail so sending me a password will not work. No texting on cell phone.  Call cell phone at < Phone number removed >  Holly Clark  < Address removed >
