Synchronize your Gmail account with Ms Outlook!

Introduction: When I was at home, I was reading my novel. However, I almost forgot to write more for my trusted readers! So, I decided to write an article that could help everyone to synchronize their Gmail account with Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. But, to achieve this task, you must first enable “Post Office Protocol (POP)” to let MS Outlook download all of your emails.

1.] Login to your ‘Gmail’ account and click on your “Settings” tabs. After that, you will need to click on the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tabs. When you are there, just select the first or the second options to enable “POP download.”

Notes: if you have a large inbox, you may want to select the second box.
If you ignore this advice, it’s going to take ages!

2.] Logout and click on your Outlook Express / Ms Outlook application and create a new account. All you have to do is click: “Tools >> Email Accounts >> Select POP3.”

3.] In the next screen, you will need to type in your account’s details and your name.
But, for now, you will need to remember these. But, the rest is for you to add and modify!

Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Email Address: yourname@gmail.com
Username: yourname@gmail.com
Password: login_password

4.] When you are done with the registrations, you will need to enable SSL connections and allow ‘Outlook’ to send emails.

a.] Look for the “Advance Settings / More Settings” button and click on the “Outgoing Server” tabs. When you are in that box, just enable it and type in your email account and your password.

b.] Click on “Advanced” tabs and enable SSL connections for “Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server.”

Incoming server (POP3): 995
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465 or 25

5.] Save your settings and enjoy Gmail without entering your username and password!

Stop Ms-Outlook from blacklisting your attachments

Introduction: for those who would like “Microsoft Outlook” to allow a specific attachment – execution, you can use this tutorial to enable an extension. This process is quite simple and you don’t have to tell anyone to compress a file (Winzip / Winrar) and send it to you. This means, you have to download the file, extract the contents and execute the file. But, if you ignore “Outlook” security settings, you can unblock an extension from being blacklisted by Microsoft Outlook and directly execute it without wasting your time and working hours.

Warning: before you continue, this tutorial is about modifying your registry. So, please create a backup and store it in a safe place.

1.] On your Desktop, click: “Start >> Run >> Type: Regedit”

2.] Wait for the dialogue box and navigate yourself to this directory. But, be careful with your registry if you have a sensitive mouse.

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\

3.] When you’re in the “Security” directory, you’ll need to modify this strings: Level1Remove (REG_SZ).

Level1Remove =”.mdb;.exe;.bat;.com;” (without the quotes)

4.] Click ‘OK’ for the changes to take effect. Also, if you have ‘Outlook’ opened, just close the application and access your Inbox again.

Alternative: you can use this VBScript, if you don’t want to touch the Registry.
Just save this script as: “MS_Outlook_Security.vbs” and execute it.

That is all…
