Outlook Express

I’m trying to get Outlook Express to work with my gmail account, and I can’t really figure it out… I’ve gotten to a point where it’s asking for the mail servers, and I have no idea what that means. it looks something like this…

next to ‘incoming mail server’ the options are POP3, IMAP, and HTTP
next to ‘HTTP mail service provider’ the options are Hotmail and Other.

EDIT okay, I just found this site and it helps a bit, but in step 5 it says
Enter your domain name in the “Incoming Mail” box, then enter your ISP’s SMTP server in the “Outgoing Mail” box. If you do not know your ISP’s SMTP server you need to contact them and find out. Click “Next” when finished.

and I don’t know what that means…

dave’s techno-idiot question of the day:

why would one want to do that?

I really like the Gmail notifier. I get the same prompting (little envelope in toolbar) as Outlook both at home or at work.
