To anyone who can help -

I'm trying to figure out how to get email sent to my gmail account to
automatically download when I hit "send and receive" in Microsoft outlook.
I've gone through the "add an email account" menus in outlook, and put in
the following things:

Type                                    HTTP - should it be POP?  I assume
not.
Email address:                          hecht.joy@gmail.com - that's my
gmail address
Username:                               it automatically filled in the gmail
address -
                                        should it just be "hecht.joy"?
HTTP mail service provider:     "other" - the options are "hotmail", "msn",
or
                                        "other"
Server URL:                             I tried "gmail.com" and I tried
                                        "http://mail.google.com"

In the "more settings" - "connection" - option I tried with "my LAN" and I
tried with "3rd party dialer."  Sometimes I dial in on a regular phone line,
sometimes I'm on someone else's wifi.  If I'm already connected, does it
make a difference what I have for this option?

In all cases I got this error:

Task 'Gmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x80070057) : 'An unknown error has occurred. Please save any existing work
and restart the program.'

Can anyone tell me how I should do this?
