Can't configure Outlook 2007 with Gmail or hotmail running Vista


Okay here?s the deal. I?m stubborn and I don?t believe the facts I?m
facing.
My Vista laptop won?t talk to hotmail or gmail with out me manually
logging on one of these two sites. I?ve tried using Windows Mail and
Microsoft Offices Outlook 2007 for software. I?ve tried changing the
configuration strings around so many times it looks like a Chinese
puzzle. I?m convinced that Outlook Express has become a futgitive and
won?t return back anymore.
My configurations? are pretty much universal and they can
pretty be applied to almost any email pop or smtp or live server A big 6
inch thick book with 1450 paged called ?Microsoft Office 2007 Inside Out
says Outlook and Gmail are compatible in one sentence and then about 3
sentences later says no it?s not unless you have a paid ISP such as
Hotmail Plus, MSN Plus or something where someone?s accepting money for
you logging on the net. I?m using free wireless connection from someone
else and please don?t tell me that?s the catch right there.
These are the most popular settings I?ve found that all match the
following email clients I?ve tried that are web-based: Outlook 2007,
Windows Mail. These are the configuration settings that I?ve saved,
adapted, modified, moved around, covered with duct tape to hold in place
and nailed up to get to work unsuccessfully like a broken record.
Incoming pop3 : pop.gmail.com port setting was 110 and 995
Outgoing smtp : smtp.gmail.com port settings were 25, 465 and 587
The account ID and logon username are pretty elementary. I did
replaced ?smtp.hotmail.com? with ?smtp.live.com? and got my email
progress window to dance around a little bit but the outgoing emails
never got any higher than my ceiling never leaving my room. And not
computer was locked up tight than Fort Knox so no email came in either.
So does anyone have any suggestions or comments concerning how I can
Progress?
