For POP

Username = username at gmail.com
host = pop.gmail.com
port = 995
Encryption = SSL
Auth = Clear text

For SMTP

Username = username at gmail.com
host = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
Server does require authentication
Encryption = TLS
Auth = Plain Text

The above works for me in Kmail.

needs a 20-pound lock and chain. A 40-pound bicycle needs a 10-
pound lock and chain. A 50-pound bicycle needs no lock or chain.
