Having difficulties synchronizing gmail with Windows Mail.

I started the process from the following link:

http://email.about.com/od/windowsmai..._get_gmail.htm

I felt like a computer genious until half way down the page where you'll
find your first hyper-link to :

http://email.about.com/cs/oetipstricks/qt/et101202.htm

As of now, I've gone down the lists of Windows Help and Support, and am
dumbfounded on what to do next. If you can be of assistance please comment.
I'd like to sync all of my mail folders with Windows Mail and they should all
be POP3/IMAP accounts.

These are the types I'd like to configure with Windows Mail:

Comcast (Which my internet provider can easily assist me with) ... don't
comment on this one.

Hotmail

Gmail

Yahoo

To access your Gmail account via POP3, start here:

To access it via IMAP, start here:

Re: Having difficulties synchronizing gmail with Windows Mail.

POP3 accounts don't sync like an IMAP account.
Comcast and Hotmail can be set up as POP3 accounts but not IMAP.
Gmail will do either.
Yahoo does webmail only, unless you pay extra for POP access.
