# Configure your client to match the settings below:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: 	pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: 	smtp.gmail.com (use 
authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587

There is no need to use smtp on port 25 with gmail.  configure the 
client according to gmail's instructions and use 465 or 587.
