Using Gmail account with excel email option set for outlook express

Hi Lauren,

Yes you can, it is possible to configure your Outlook Express to GMail Account. Just follow below procedure;

• Open your GMail Account then click the settings in upper right of Navigation bar.

• Just click the tab marked Forwarding and POP

• Then check enable POP for all mail you will received now on.

• Then click Save Changes 
• Go to your Outlook Express, then click the Tools menu and select Accounts

• Then Click Add Mail …

• Go Type your name and click Next

• Then Enter your Gmail address and click Next

• Go to "My incoming mail server is a [dropdown box] server, then select POP  

• Go to "Incoming mail server," then type pop.gmail.com

• Go to "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server," then type smtp.gmail.com and click Next

• Go to "Account name," then type your Gmail address ([email protected])

• Go to "Password," then type your Gmail password and click Next

• Then click Finish.

Of course you have to configure a new account,

• Just highlight the account name and click Properties

• Then Click the Servers tab

• Go to "Outgoing Mail Server," while ensure that the following is checked: My server requires authentication   

• Then click the Advanced tab

• You need to ensure the following is checked under both "Outgoing Mail (SMTP)" and "Incoming Mail (POP3): This server requires a secure connection

• Go to "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" then type 465

• Go to "Incoming Server (POP3)" then type 995

• Now click Apply, click Okay and close.

Hope this help.

Best Regards,

A.Wright
