Outlook and Gmail

I'm having trouble getting my Outlook to work with Gmail's POP service. It worked when I used Outlook Express, but when I upgraded and transfered the settings, it stopped working. It cannot find the server. I have tried reading Gmail's tutorial and even using their express setup wizard - no luck. Any help would be appreciated. It's just a matter of settings.

Thanks, I've followed those very directions but it seems to work now. Only thing is I cannot send mail. I am looking into this right now.

I think it's actually 465 - it won't work at 587.

I have a feeling it can be tempremental at times.

I was using Outlook for a while but decided the web interface and Gmail Notifier made life a fair bit easier.
