GMAIL: Unable to send on Outlook 2007 when using Gmail IMAP?
Noticed this while I was trying to setup my Gmail IMAP account the other day, if you cannot send out email but can receive it fine try the following fix:
1. Open Outlook
2. Go to Tools > Account Settings
3. Under the Email tab click ‘Change” on your gmail account
4. Click “More Settings”
5. Under Outgoing Server tick “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”
6. Select the Log on Using radio button
7. Type in your full Gmail Username and Password
8. Tick Remember password
9. Click OK
10. Click Next
11. Click Finish
You’re done! Let me know if you have any issues with this or if you couldn’t understand one of the steps.
You need to use IMAP, follow the tutorial from google here: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=75726
be sure to enable your account for imap use before completing this.
It does not solve my problem. I can receive Gmail just fine with Outlook 2007, but it will not send my messages. Do I use POP or IMAP?
DUGG! Thanks for the tip.
