We need help to help you.

What is the error?

Cut and paste any message here.

Meanwhile, I presume you have read this....
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13276

(The instructions for Windows Mail are the same as for Outlook Express)

One last thing... some homework...

The links describe setup for Outlook Express, Windows mail setup is exactly
the same.

Gmail uses different ports.

Outgoing (SMTP) uses 465
Incoming (POP) uses 995

Change them in
Tools - Accounts - highlightyouraccount - Properties - Advanced

also check both boxes: [x] This server requires a secure connection

And often overlooked...

* Did you click 'Save Changes' after enabling POP in Google Mail? To ensure
that Google Mail can communicate with your mail client, make sure you click
'Save Changes' on the 'Forwarding and POP' tab in your Google Mail settings.
