Set up GMail account

I want to setup my GMail Account in Outlook. It is OK in Outlook Express but in Outlook, when i click "Test Account Settings" , it fails at some steps. My settings are same as OE. Here they are :

Internet E-mail Settings (POP3)
Each of these settings are required to get your e-mail account working.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

User Information Server Information
Your Name: Ayush Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.gmail.com
E-mail Address: (e-mail address removed) Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com

Logon Information Test Settings
User Name: UserName After filling out the information on this screen, we
Password: Password recommend you test your account by clicking the button
below. (Requires network connection)
[ ] Log on using Secure Password [ Test Account Settings . . . ]
Authentication
[ More Settings . . . ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When i click More settings, the settings are :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General | Outgoing server| Connection | Advanced |
[*] My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication > Checked
Use same settings as my incoming mail server > Selected

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Advanced tab :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General | Outgoing server| Connection | Advanced |
Incoming server (POP3): 995
[ * ] This server requires a secure connection (SSL) > Checked
Outgoing server (SMTP) : 465
[ * ] This server requires a secure connection (SSL) > Checked

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It doesn't matter that the user name in "User Name:" field is my account name only or my account (e-mail address removed), it gives this error message:
Send test e-mail message: The specified server was found, but there was no response
from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access
these settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click on the Advanced tab.

*Sometimes* the error message is :
Send test e-mail message: Unable to send test message. Please verify the E-mail address field.
