mdmilan Jan 19 2006, 22:21 Am un cont pe Gmail, am setat in MS Outlook asa cum spun ei. Cand incerc sa trimit un mail nu il trimite. Restul functiilor merg OK. In Outlook Expres, cu celeasi setari, merge si trimiterea. Nu vreau sa folosesc Outlook Expres ci MS Outlook. Ce trbuie sa fac? Cu multumiri, Marius Milan worm Jan 19 2006, 22:41 sa activezi accesul POP3 din web interface la gmail. ai facut asta? mdmilan Jan 19 2006, 22:45 QUOTE(worm @ Jan 19 2006, 22:41) sa activezi accesul POP3 din web interface la gmail. ai facut asta?

da, am activat si POP3 din setarile de la ei. altfel nu cred ca mergea din outlook expres ccezar2004 Jan 19 2006, 22:54 daca poti primi.... atunci e o problema la server-ul de iesire... SMTP-ul care nu mai tine de mail daca esti la un provider gen RDS.... si poate cere SMTP-ul RDS-ului.... si mai e si treba ca are niste setari diferite pentru porturi.... ai incercat setarea automata a outlook-ului? setari pas cu pas sau automate pentru GMail mdmilan Jan 19 2006, 23:14 QUOTE(ccezar2004 @ Jan 19 2006, 22:54) daca poti primi.... atunci e o problema la server-ul de iesire...

programelul de la Gmail de configurare automata nu face treaba decat la Outlook Expres adica in Outlook Expres creeaza cont cu setarile respective si merge ok si la trimitere si la primire, dar in MS Outlook nu creeaza cont chiar daca am ales obtiunea pt acesta.

am observat in Outlook Expres o setare in proprietatile contului, la tabul "Security", zona "Encriptyng prferences", "Algorithm:" = 3DES, setare care in MS Outlook nu o gasesc pe nicaieri. O fi din cauza asta? Daca da, unde... beeep ... este setarea asta? ccezar2004 Jan 19 2006, 23:19 eu folosesc gmail pe outlook 2003.... fara probleme incoming: pop.gmail.com outgoing: smtp.gmail.com more setings.... al doilea tab... bifat my outgoing server requires authentication si se selecteaza la fel ca incoming port-uri: in 995, out 25 SSL bifat si merge bine... parca stiu ca la inceput am avut si eu probleme cu configurarea.... la expres mergea si la full nu... incearca setarile de mai sus worm Jan 19 2006, 23:42 atentie, portul de SMTP e 465 la gmail ccezar2004 Jan 20 2006, 06:23 la mine e 25 mdmilan Jan 20 2006, 11:14 Eu am MS Outlook 2002. Am setat port 25 in loc de 465. De data asta nici macar nu gaseste Outgoing mail server (SMTP), la Send test e-mail message nici nu mai trece. Pana acum doar Send test e-mail message era failed, restul erau Completed. petrus Jan 23 2006, 15:12 Si eu am patit la fel.Totul e OK pana la "Send Test e-mail message", unde imi da eroare si zice sa verific adresa de e-mail.Configurarea pas cu pas cum zic cei de la Gmail, POP3 activat...............nimic.
