Hi,

I forward several Email accounts to Gmail. Now I would like to receive
all these mails from Gmail (POP) but send my mails via the SMTP server
of the original account providers.

When I try to set the POP server to (empty), Outlook does not allow me
to click 'next'.

Thank you for your help!

Why are you trying to set the POP server to a null value? Leave it as it
was and simply disable receiving for the account in the Send/Receive group.

Outlook (and other mail clients) can not get email out of thin air. That's
normal behavior. You need a valid server name before continuing.
