Hi,

I have recently configured outlook express 6 in my system.
I have sent a mail from it to my gmail and yahoo id's and verified the same.
But when I had e-mailed from Gmail, I didn't receive the same in outlook.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi — and are right to ask for clarification. If your problem is "messages sent to your Gmail address are not being downloaded into Outlook Express", try this focused checklist. If you meant something else, say so and we will adjust.

  • First verify the message actually appears when you log into Gmail on the web (check Inbox, Spam, Filters, and Forwarding).
  • In Gmail web settings enable POP or IMAP for the account you want Outlook Express to read.
  • In Outlook Express check the account properties: the incoming server should be the Gmail POP/IMAP host, outgoing the Gmail SMTP host; the account name must be the full email address and the outgoing server must use authentication. Turn on the SSL/TLS option and use the correct ports for the chosen protocol.
  • If your Gmail account uses 2‑step verification, generate and use an app password instead of your normal password.
  • Temporarily disable any firewall/antivirus email scanning and retry; some security software blocks POP/SMTP connections.
  • In OE make sure the account is enabled for Send/Receive and that messages are not being delivered to Local Folders by mistake.
  • If secure connection errors occur, note the exact error text and post it here. Outlook Express is old; if you cannot establish a secure POP/SMTP connection, try a modern client (for example Thunderbird) which will make diagnosis easier.

Post back the exact account settings and any error messages and someone here will walk through them with you.

I'm a little confused here, were you unable to receive emails sent to your gmail account, or sent from your gmail account?
