How to setup Gmail with outlook Express?


Is there a way that I can set up Gmail with Outlook Express on my PC? I followed all the steps that were directed on the Gmail page. I even did steps like enabling the POP forwarding etc, and set it up manually step by step according to the instructions that Gmail was gave me but still I was not able to make it work. Do you know what should I do to set up Gmail with Outlook Express?
