To configure Outlook 2003 ...

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ASSUME YOU USE VZINET to CONNECT to the internet and BOTH your incoming and outgoing servers say mail.vzinet.com. 

IF YOUR PC DOES NOT CONNECT through VZINET OR your incoming or outgoing mail servers are NOT mail.vzinet.com - make a note of everything your email client says!  If you change the wrong field for another email provider or ISP provider, we can not help you resolve that!  The best suggestion is to write down the information before you change it.  You would typically ONLY need to change the information relative to mail.vzinet.com.

1. Open Outlook 2003.
2. Click the Tools menu, and select E-mail Accounts...
   
   
   Select VIEW OR CHANGE EXISTING E-MAIL ACCOUNTS and click Next.
    
   1. CHANGE the necessary fields to include the following information:

      Server Information
      Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.gmail.com
      Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com

   2. Click the Advanced tab, and check the box next to This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) under Incoming Server (POP3).  If 995 is not then displayed in the little box, you will need to type it in.
      
      
       
   3. Check the box next to This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) under Outgoing Server (SMTP), and enter 465 in the Outgoing server (SMTP) box.
       
   4. Click OK.
       
   5. Click Test Account Settings... After receiving Congratulations! All tests completed successfully, click Close.
      (You will have to be logged on (have an active internet connection) for this Test Account Settings to work!)
   6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
   7. You may be asked to re-enter your password the first time you send or receive email - just type in the password as we've indicated to you in previous correspondence!

Congratulations! You're done configuring your client to send and retrieve messages.
