Try to change your outgoing port number to 465.
Goto Tools Menus
Select pop.gmail.com
Properties > Advanced Tab.

Gmail also offers you to connect your mail account via IMAP, I kept it simple by assuming you'd rather use the POP method. Even some antivirus program tend to cause problems in your windows mail, even its resolve immediately. If you need more assistance on this problem then please tell me which antivirus software is installed on your machine.

You cannot use SSL port with 587, I would suggest you to change to the port 465 and keep your SSL, even you can keep it 587 but disable your SSL certificate.
