On your G-Mail site, you first have to tell it that you are going to use
POP3, then there are very clear instructions including screen shots on
how to set it up. Note the critical following in your Outlook setup
under ADVANCED Tab
Incoming POP3 server Port is 995 and it requires a tick in the SSL box
Outgoing smtp server must be port 587 (you may have these two port
numbers mixed??)
Encrypt the connection using TLS from the drop down box
Note also the USER NAME is not the full E-mail address (no @)
