Accessing Gmail with Outlook: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Gary for Expert Village. And now we are going to go to more settings. There's a few options here that we need to make sure that they are selected. On the outgoing server tab, we have to make sure that this box, the outgoing server requires authentication, we have to make sure that that is checked. And we going to leave it as using the same settings as the incoming mail server. From here we are going to go to the advanced tab and we are going to the box that says that there is a requirement for an encrypted connection on the server, we are going to make sure that that's checked, both for the sntp and the POP3. And the last thing we want to do is on our outgoing server the number twenty-five, we want to change that to four sixty-five and nine ninety-five is the right amount, that is the right number that should be on the incoming server. But if it is not there for some reason, make sure that nine ninety-five appears in the incoming server and four sixty-five appears in the outgoing server. Then we go ahead and click OK and then we are back to the original window. We click next and finish. And now when we go ahead and retrieve our email, it is also going to look into our Gmail account and retrieve that email as well into our Outlook inbox. After all of these settings have been put into place it is very important that we go back into our Gmail account. We have to log into it and in the settings you will find the option to turn on a POP3 account which means that you are turning on the option for the emails to be forwarded to a regular POP3 which is a standard dial up email account. So it is very important to go into your Gmail account and turn that setting on because everything that we just did in Outlook will not help to get those emails if the Gmail account itself does not know that it needs to send it to the Outlook to our regular internet service provider's servers."
