I have have windows mail and receive my gmail account through it. Ive done
something wrong I guess because I've never been able to send mail from
windows mail. I receive it but can't send. I have to log on to my gmail
account and send from it. Could someone tell me what I did wrong??
this is the error I get:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject '', Account:
'pop.Gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.Gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Although nothing to do with Word, your service provider is probably blocking
connections to port 25. This is quite common and you can usually get around
it by changing the outgoing server port to 2525. See
http://www.gmayor.com/use_google_gmail_to_remove_spam.htm (Where the port is
shown as 25, change it to 2525)
