How do I set up Outlook Express (Vista) to send emails using gmail?

I am getting the message below when I try to send mail: The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider. The rejected e-mail address was 'myname@gmail.com'. Subject 'hi', Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.5.1 Authentication Required 29sm862467uga', Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

1. The link below is a step-by-step guide on how to setup Outlook Express access. Make sure you enabled POP access for your e-mail account. It is not enabled by default, for security reasons.
