Gmail uses different ports.

Outgoing (SMTP) uses 465
Incoming (POP) uses 995

Change them in
Tools - Accounts - highlightyouraccount - Properties - Advanced

also check both boxes: [x] This server requires a secure connection

And often overlooked...

* Did you click 'Save Changes' after enabling POP in Google Mail? To ensure
that Google Mail can communicate with your mail client, make sure you click
'Save Changes' on the 'Forwarding and POP' tab in your Google Mail settings.
