Sorry for not checking this forum often enough to see if my question's been answered. (I keep waiting for email notifications...)

Okay, I went to my PC, and followed your instruction to find out my POP was not enabled which was corrected immediately. Before changing #3 (configure email client) to Outlook which I use, I sent a test message to Gmail. My PC received it, but again, my 770 kept saying "Authentication to pop.gmail.com failed...."

The reason I did not configure my email client is that it is not my intention to "forward" my messages to 770. I am just trying to use gmail account to receive mail directly from anyone sending it to my gmail address. Thus, if I have no problem getting my gmail messages on Google mail site, I am thinking there is no need to configure email client. Am I correct? I keep thinking it's my 770 that is not set up correctly... Thank you for your help!
