• Answer:

  Google GMail Settings The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections. Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995) Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465) NOTE; please remember to pick one of your answers as the best one by clicking on the thumbs up at the end of the one you choose. If you don't then Yahoo will have to do it at a later time and they have enough to do....thanx
