Hi Brian, I tried deleting as you said, then started Outlook, set the account options and exited Outlook but the options did not stick even after this little dance :(
Just to make sure I did it right, since I rarely use Outlook: I set the POP options for Gmail by choosing Tools | Options | Mail setup | Send/Receive | Edit | Account Properties. I hope this is what is needed for it to work right?
Thanks,
Vivek

And you've made sure you've configured your gmail account for POP/SMTP
access, correct?

Yup, I used the same settings as in Outlook Express and also checked with the gmail help online.
What I don't get is why Outlook is not retaining settings
Also why we have to go through such a long click-series to configure pop/smtp :(
Thanks,
Vivek
