Default Can't Connect Word Mail Merge to Mail Client

See http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm for a start.
I wonder if it would work any better if you setup Gmail's POP server option
instead of IMAP?

I've created a mail merge file using Word 2007 and Excel 2007. It
prints great, but I cannot get it to send by e-mail. I'm sure
problem is that I have to define mail client and somehow attach it to
Word. I have Office 2007 Pro Plus installed. I've configured
Outlook 2007 to work as an IMAP client on GMAIL and it works
perfectly and have set it up as default mail client. I also have
Thunderbird 2.0 installed. When I go to Mailings Finish & Merge
Send E- Mail Messages the 'Merge to E-mail screen comes up and I've
set the To: Field to EMAIL which is the field in my data that
contains e-mail addresses, I've also set the Send Records to Current
Record and clicked ok. The Merge to E-mail screen closes and nothing
happens. I can't find anything in the help screens to resolve
problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
