Could you give more detailed instructions on how to configure gmail for this problem?
a step by step guide would really be appreciated.

Finally set you settings to:
Connection: Sockets
Mail Protocol: POP3-SSL or IMAP-SSL
Port: 995 or 993
Mail Server: pop.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com
Userid: your full email address
Password: your password
