Windows Mail ???
If you wish to use Windows Mail with a Gmail account, your gmail account settings(in the gmail web interface) need to be configured
to permit Pop3/smtp. Search the Gmail help for the correct server(pop3/smtp), ports, SSL, and authentication settings.
If the above is not what you want...lets first get on the same page with terminology
Windows Live Mail = WLM = alternate email client for use in XP and Vista = capable of pop3, http, imap
Windows Mail = WM = Vista included email client for use in Vista=capable fo pop3
