Configuring your email client: Outlook 2003
Having troubles with POP configuration? Windows users can download the Gmail POP Troubleshooter tool to automatically diagnose any POP issues with Outlook 2000 or newer, Outlook Express 6, or Thunderbird 1.5.

Follow the directions - there are some odd numbers to put in.

May I strongly suggest you use Thunderbird instead? It has more flexibility (filter e-mails not only by who sent them but what they're about or what's in them) and lots of free and awesome add-ons (control your music player without having to switch to it, block ads, ect.)

http://getthunderbird.com - Thunderbird

If you like Internet Explorer 7 (or if you don't) try Firefox... it's free, fast, more secure and awesome!
