>>>I set up a Gmail account as a POP/SMTP account in my Outlook 2002. I can receive messages sent to Gmail in my Outlook. But if I try to email from Outlook, using Gmail account, I get the following error:
>>>
>>>

>>>Task 'Gmail Account - Sending and Receiving' reported error
>>>(0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from
>>>the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message,
>>>contact your server administrator or Internet service provider

>>>Is this by design that I can only receive Gmail messages in Outlook?

>>You probably have it setup wrong in outook...the settings are not your typical POP3 settings.

>I understood initial instructions on Gmail help exactly as the document you quoted above. And I followed all the instructions exactly. I just rechecked the settings in Outlook. All looks correct but when I try to Test Account Setting all tests are performed well, except the one that send email. The error message says, "Please verify the Email Address field." My email is so simple, hard to make a mistake.

>Thank you for your suggestion.

You're sure that Outgoing server (SMTP) port number to 465 and that when you click the Outgoing Server tab, that My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box is selected?
