    Gmail help with Windows Mail

    I copied the exact POP3 settings as Outlook Express to my new Vista Windows
    Mail for my gmail accounts. I can receive mail just fine, but cannot sent
    mail out. I put pop.gmail.com for incoming and smtp.gmail.com for outgoing.
    Can't figure out what else to do! It does not give me an error message.
    Thanks!

    Did you set the ports to SSL and 995 for receiving and 465 for sending?

    Before you blame Microsoft, do a little more due diligence.
    Have you read all the posts, and attempted the suggested fixes?

    We will need more details, such as the complete error message.

    Seems as though they are doing their 'due diligence' Gary. They came here for
    help. Damn.

    But they have not provided the information we need to help.
    Who is their server?
    What are the "exact" error messages?
    Remember, we cannot see your screen or your settings.

    And help I am willing and ready to provide. Note my "We will need
    more details, such as the complete error message" below.
    I can't help if the user doesn't provide any details of the problem.
