What if any antivirus programs do you have? A Norton antivirus program
caused this for me in WM, and had to be uninstalled, not just disabled, to
stop it.

Also, if you are using HTTP protocol for the Gmail connection under WLM,
you will have to set up to use a different protocol under WM, since WM
can't handle the HTTP protocol.

These instructions cover both the IMAP protocol and the POP protocol.
Choose one, and don't get them mixed up.
