MS Outlook - Help

normally_crazy · 1st May 2006, 00:15

Guys,

I had Ms Office 2000 with Outlook 2000. Got my PDA and had to install Outlook 2002 to sync the PDA with the computer. Got it done and everything worked perfect till.............I decided to get my gmail account configured to Outlook. That wasnt possible with Outlook 2002 due to some problems , so I tried Outlook 2000, which created problems in the sync relation between the PDA and computer. So back I went to Outlook 2002 , same problem syncing with the PDA and to top it , gmail still not configured.

So I upgraded to Outlook 2003, still gmail not working in Outlook, but Outlook 2003 downloads my gmail on my laptop like a dream. Whats happening here ? Can someone help ? I have searched the net and tried out various things suggested to no avail. Please some one help me out here.

cheers

Any suggestions ?

Knock Knock !! Hello - is there anybody out there ?

Sorry if my question sound stupid but are you trying to download gmail mails directly on PDA or are you synching the downloaded mails on to the PDA ?

I am currently working on PDAs nothing with Outlook but it relates to synching issues, thats why asking.

Btw which version of MS Active Synch are you using? The latest is 4.1

just in case you are on older version then download this version from MS site for free. This is the URL

Techno,

I am trying to DL the mails from my gmail account to my desktop via MS Outlook 2003. It works beautifully on the laptop with the MTNL dialup , but at office I surf through a proxy server and I have a Sify broadband connection. Is the proxy server causing the problem ??

Hey NC,

Yes it may be..
Which software do u use for internet sharing ?
you have to bypass POP3 service in ur proxy server if you want use outlook in client pc.

Mugen ,

How do i by pass the pop3 in the proxy server ? I use novell for LAN.

Thanks

Technocrat · 2nd May 2006, 18:38

Yes proxy Server plays an important role like mentioned by MP.

What am asking is that are you downloading it directly on a PDA or you are first downloading on your laptop & then synching\transfering these mails to your PDA ?

normally_crazy · 2nd May 2006, 18:42

Techno ,

I just want the gmail in my outlook thats it. I am not syncing it or even want to sync it with the PDA. Just DL the mails in gmail inbox via outlook to my desktop.

heelntoe · 2nd May 2006, 18:45

Heelntoe,

been there , done that. Tried every possible way mentioned on google and other sites. result = zilch. So now im beginning to doubt the proxy server. need to understand how to get past that.

heelntoe · 2nd May 2006, 18:52

oh. then lets wait for the more technically inclined people to answer this one.
by the way what is the model number/name of that black beauty(pda)

normally_crazy · 2nd May 2006, 19:28

Now Im damn sure its the proxy - coz when i ping the gmail server it times out without connecting. And when i type in my proxy server details in the incoming and outgoing server names , outlook atleast finds the servers.

Now how do i get by this mess ?? answers anyone ?
