so after configuring gmail & OE, it's still not playing nice. then, i do a "netstat -an" & see 465 (smtp) & 995 (pop3) aren't listening.

appears to not allow com on these ports. gmail help center has utterly useless information.

what should i try next?

while polling, i get this:

  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
  TCP    192.168.0.2:2768       64.233.183.109:[b]995[/b]     SYN_SENT
  TCP    192.168.0.2:3823       64.233.163.111:[b]465[/b]     SYN_SENT

(similar stuff w/ LAST_ACK instead of SYN_SENT, too)

well after taking a year off from this, i figured it out in a little over 15 minutes:

Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Local Security Policy/Settings -> IP Security Policies on Local Computer -> IPrules for Home Use -> double click SMTP Mail Client -> (IP Filter List Tab) Add -> (IP Filter List dialog box) Add -> (IP Filter Wizard) Next -> select "My IP Address" under Source Address pulldown, & click Next -> select "A Specific DNS Name" under Destination Address pulldown -> enter smtp.gmail.com & click Next -> if you get a warning box, keep going by clicking Yes (just DNS filtering info) -> select TCP under protocol type pulldown & click Next -> (Set the IP protocol port: ) click "To this port" & enter 465; click Next -> successful Wizardy page: click Finish.

for pop, follow same steps w/ pop.gmail.com & port 995.
