How to Set Up Gmail in Microsoft Outlook 2002 (Without the Test Email Failing)

I finally got fed up with trying to get Outlook 2002 and Gmail to work together. I found the directions years ago and had to play around to get it right. I figured I would share my frustration with all of you to spare you the urge to toss your computer out the window. Here is a blurb from the article:

While trying to set up my gmail in Microsoft Outlook 2002 I ran into the problem of my "test email" failing every time. Sound familiar? I went to my online Google email account for help but the walk through they gave me had the same result with "test email" failing.

Symptoms of Pityriasis Rosea (AKA Christmas Tree Rash)? - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

Everyone is asking "What is Pityriasis Rosea?" So I wrote an article on the symptoms and added pictures (5 of them). Here is a blurb from it.

I had never heard of Pityriasis Rosea when my youngest son came to me complaining of a spot on his neck. I thought it was eczema but it didn't look like it after 24 hours and two days later he was covered in a spotted rash that looked like the bastard children of contact dermatitis, chicken pox and zits. The rash spread over the next three days and took on a Christmas tree shape on his back. I called the Doctor and made an appointment hoping he wouldn't erupt in tinsel, lights and ornaments.

You can read the rest of it here:
