I have setup gmail account in outlook express6 but while sending mail
im getting message like your account is not configured for sending
e-mail.

pls help
 
Hello,

Did you check the right pop port?? gmail uses port 465 for SMTP not 25 (some
say they use port 464). Have you checked the "server requires SSL? you need
to check both (for pop and smtp). Have you checked "server requires
aunthetication"?? you need to check that.

After all those settings are correct, then you must log into your gmail
account via its website and click on settings and go to "forwarding and pop"
and select "enable POP for all email". after that you should not have any
problems with gmail in your outlook.

Hope this helps,
JR.

Wrong newsgroup. As Outlook Express questions in an Outlook Express
newsgroup like
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
 
My problem is slightly different. When I try to create a new message, I get
the error:

"There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred."

If I try to open the address book, I get the error:

"Unable to open the Address Book. The Address Book may not be installed
properly."

I have tried Microsoft Knowledgebase and the problem seems to be related to
a security patch. I have followed their instructions to no avail.

This is an XP-SP2 computer with Outlook 6 and IE7.

Any ideas?
 
Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
