RE: Gmail problem

04-01-2008

hi,

I did as you suggested.... and everything seemed to work better untill I
tried to send an email from the gmail account.

I am now getting the following error message:

The connection to the server has failed.
Subject 'test'
Server: 'smtp.gmail.com '
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060

This seems to be going round in circles!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Thanks

Using Pop3 or Imap for Gmail.
Your error message indicates the former.
If not already done, logon to your account on the Gmail web site and enable Pop3.
