Re: Gmail not working in Windows Mail

hi !

Hogtowner:
"POP will only work for gmail when you are logged on to gmail (or any other google service with the same account) in your browser."

QUE ?

where have you read that ?

i´ve never heard of it before, and i have used POP3 for years on my cellphone, now i use IMAP4 both on my PC and cellphone.

just to doublecheck i just setup windows mail, and did a quick test.

guess what, IT WORKS !

and i´m *NOT CONNECTED* to gmail...

suriya06:
with SSL you must use port 995 for receiving email and 587 for sending,
you can also use 465 if 587 does not work.

take a look at gmail´s help-pages, all you need to knows is available there.

btw. why use windows mail ?

get Thunderbird instead, it´s much better...
