I am trying to migrate my Outlook 2007 .pst file from a Vista computer to a Windows 7 computer running Outlook 2010. All the account settings are the same.
Pop: pop.gmail.com
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Server requires a secure connection (SSL); port number "465" in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP)" .
Server requires a secure connection (SSL); port number "995' in the "Incoming mail (POP3)".
I have been on the phone with my ISP twice for 2 hours each and they say the settings are correct.
I tend to agree since I get the following error immediately :
Task 'jmguerra@clear.net - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
as if Windows is blocking the connect and never tries to connect via the network.
I have tried to telnet to the server and get a connection error also.
telnet pop.gmail.com 995
I have added Firewall rules for Outlook.exe to allow all incoming and outgoing on all ports and all protocols and still get the error.
