| | Can't get google mail with Outlook on Vista Hi - sorry it's long I joined sky broadband and can't get email through Outlook I have just discovered that one can't configure Windows Mail to use a Web-based (HTTP) e-mail account in Windows Vista Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers that are used by Hotmail and other Web-based e-mail providers such as AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Steps to resolve the problem Use Windows Live Mail instead of Windows Mail Windows Live Mail is an e-mail program that you install on your computer. Windows Live Mail stores messages on your computer. This means that you can access, read, and compose e-mail messages even when you are not connected to the Internet. Windows Live Mail works with popular Web-based e-mail services such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Windows Live Mail is built to automatically configure many popular e-mail services. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone know of a patch\fix for outlook?

IMAP if you want to get all your mail, not just new email). Follow the instructions in Google Mail's pages. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET ANY MORE SOFTWARE!!
