And also all the mails( I means my send items, inbox items)everything is downloading to the outlook inbox itself. Can anyone help t download seperately in outlook..and also pls help to send mail from outlook.System Configuration: Windows Vista

Well guys, I got it working. :)

Check the checkbox "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" in "Outgoing Server" tab and use the same authentication as it's for the incoming server (use the radio button there).

So please do it and happy emailing. :D

Cheers.

EDIT: I as well had the same problem using two seperate gmail accounts through Outlook 2007. However, this was fixed by changing the recommended Outgoing SMTP port from 465 to 587. Issue resolved.

Hello Jasi,
     I had a gmail outlook and its working on sending out emails.
Make sure that on your email account, go to tools then go to accounts.
When you get there, go to properties. Make sure on your servers says on
Incoming mail POP3 > pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail SMTP>  smtp.gmail.com
And your server port numbers, did you follow wha numbers supposed to be?
Example the outgoing should be 25 and incoming should be 995?

Had same problem with Outlook and Yahoo after changing ISP.  Turns out the new ISP (O2 broadband) blocks port 25.  I had to change the outgoing port to 587 to get it working.

fd · Answer

i got mine working at least now. problem was I had two accounts and guess they having problems sharing same export port.  Made one 25 and the other 465 and now they work, for now.

I too was unable to send mail using Outlook Express with gmail.

I tried ALL the solutions on this page above. I've been trying to set this up off and on since December.  Finally, I found the link below, entered the examples in my Outlook Express account and wonder of wonders, I can now send and receive mail through outlook express.

We just setup Google Apps Email and integrated it into Outlook with our current Exchange server.  Currently, this option allows us to use both our Exchange server and Google Apps Mail in the same Outlook version.  We are working towards full integration.  These are the steps we performed:

o) Google Apps Mail - set IMAP option (we decided to use IMAP)
     o) open Google Apps Mail
     o) select Settings
     o) select Forwarding and POP/IMAP setting
     o) Enable IMAP option part way down the page
     o) select Save Changes button

o) Outlook (2007)
     o) Tools --> Account Settings --> New
     o) select the Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP button
     o) fill in the Auto Account Setup screen 
          o) Your Name: fname "space" lname
          o) email address: fname.lname@googlemailaddress.com --> your full google mail address
          o) password: your google mail password
          o) retype password: again, your google mail password
          o) IMPORTANT: select the Manually configure server settings or additional server types
          o) Next button
     o) select Internet E-mail --> Next
     o) fill in the Internet Email Settings screen:
          o) Your name: as above - fname "space" lname
          o) Email address: your full Google Mail address
          o) Account Type: IMAP (we liked this option - it synch's Exchange and Google Apps Email)
          o) Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
          o) Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
          o) Logon username: gmail login id
          o) Logon password: gmail login password
          o) IMPORTANT: select More Settings (not next - yet)
     o) Internet Email Setting screens - select the tabs as below:
          o) General Tab: Type in the name of the folder for Google Apps as it will appear in Outlook (optional)
          o) Folders Tab: nothing needs be done here
          o) Outgoing Server Tab: select My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
               and select Use same settings as my incoming mail server
          o) Connection Tab: Connect using Internet Explorer's or a 3rd party dialer
               NOTE: we do not see this in other documentation, but it was critical for our outgoing
                         emails sent from Google Apps out of Outlook
          o) Advanced: 
                    Incoming Server (IMAP) Port 993 and SSL encryption
                    Outgoing Server (SMTP) Port 587 and TLS encryption (we have Port 25 blocked in Exchange)
                         NOTE: the port will change if you set it first - make sure it is set before leaving this screen
          o) select OK button
     o) The Internet E-Mail Settings screen should be up: select Test Account Settings
          if this comes back with Completed for Log into incoming mail server (IMAP) and
          send test e-mail message - you are set.  If not, you need to work on the previous settings.
     O) Select Close --> Next --> Finish and your Google Apps Email folder should be visible in Outlook

Please note that we had to set our MX records to point to Goolge Apps Email records as follows:

	   Hostname	Record Type	Address		   MX Pref

	1) *		CNAME (Alias)  parking.droa.com.	        10
	2) mail		MX (mail)	      ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.        20
	3) mail		MX (mail)	      ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.        20
	4) mail		MX (mail)	      ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.	        10
	5) mail		MX (mail)	      ASPMX2.L.GOOGLE.COM.	        30
	6) mail		MX (mail)	      ASPMX3.L.GOOGLE.COM.	        30
	7) mail		MX (mail)	      ASPMX4.L.GOOGLE.COM.	        30
	8) mail		MX (mail)	      ASPMX5.L.GOOGLE.COM.	        30

Hope this helps!

I have set my Gmail email account to the MS Outlook(office XP). Emails are being received and sent correctly. 

The server configuration is as follows: 

Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com 
Incoming Port: 995 SSL 
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com 
Outgoing Port: 587 SSL 

In "Outgoing Server" tab, "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" is checked. 


Happy smiling :)

Based on above suggestions, I got it working in my Outlook 2007.
* incoming mail server is POP3 on port 110
* outgoing mail server is smtp.gmail.com on port 25 with TLS encryption

Some settings needs to be modified in "Internet E-mail Settings"
* Outgoing Server TAB
* Advanced TAB

You must have a Gmail account because you must login on the smtp server before you can transmit mails (Outgoing server TAB).
"Require Secure Password Authentication" must be checked

PS : the receiver will see your name in the email from field with additionally marking the gmail account name used for the smtp between brackets like : 

From : John Doe [suzanna@gmail.com] 

success !

PS 2 : I'm using different mail server for incomming and outgoing and this works fine as long as this additional marking is no issue which might create confusion

sandeep · Answer

I have changed my port number of outgoing server to 465 and it worked.

May · Answer

587 is the great figure. Since I couldn't send email from outlook to another account of mine. I tried so many times to solve the problem till I found this webpage. Thanks for you all. ^_^

I will leave some details of my problem which will be useful to somebody else;

1) Normally I can send and receive email from all accounts in my outlook 2007. I mostly use "gmail" for 3 accounts. I set the property as Outgoing SMTP 465 and Incoming IMAP 993, both checked SSL, outgoing mail server checked as My server requires authentication.

2) One day I could not receive email from my outlook as usual. It works when I send an email by signing in at www.gmail.com only. At the same time, sending an email to outside account, it's still fine. Anyway, it watsed my time to sign in with original email provider, so I hope that my outlook would be worked properly as before.

3) I read so many comments and try to edit some setting. Just change Outgoing SMTP 465 to 587. Now I can use my outlook with happiness.

Dennis · Answer

I had the same problem.  Outlook 2007 does not have a check mark for "This server requires a encrypted connection(SSL). Instead it has a dropdown box where you select SSL".  When I did that, it corrected my issue.

mahesh · Answer

Here's a solution for Outlook Express, which might work for Outlook as well.



problem: can receive mail, but can't send mail for gmail or google apps account. (getting Error Code 0x800CCC0E)
solution: recheck the smtp outgoing port; it may have changed on its own. change it back to 465 and your mail should start going out again.
details: I was getting Error Code 0x800CCC0E in Outlook express when trying to send out mail from my google apps domain. this applies to google apps mail, but might help someone with a similar problem using gmail. I personally have not had this happen with gmail itself. yet.

google apps mail uses smtp.gmail.com to send mail out. OE seems to reset the outgoing smtp.gmail.com port back to 25 once in a while. change it back to 465 and it start working right away.
