Sorry, last night I got too frustrated and had to stop.

I have done all of this and it still is popping up with user name and
password.
I do not see where this is,
"Logon using Secure Password Authentication" is unchecked.
I have done it manual. It has been turned off and on a couple of times. I
did save changes. I believe I have followed all directions.

OK, it HAS to work if set up right.

Firstly you need to go to your Google Account via Web Mail and make sure it
is set to download to Pop3 within the settings that are there. Nothing will
work unless this is done FIRST.

Then in Windows Mail and in TOOLS/ACCOUNTS and look at the GMail account you
have set up.

Do EXACTLY this

On the GENERAL Tab, make sure there is a tick in the "Include this account
when sending" box

On the SERVERS Tab

pop.gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com
Your E-Mail username is the full E-mail address i.e. User@gmail.com
Tick "Remember Password"
NO tick in "Log on using Secure Password Authentication"
TICK My "Server Requires Authentication"
Under the SETTINGS Button to right of last one just a tick in the top box
"Use same settings etc"

On the CONNECTION Tab

Just leave that blank

On the SECURITY Tab

Just have 3DES as the Algorithm, nothing else needed on this page

On the ADVANCED Tab (and do these in order as they can change each other)

For OUTGOING: TICK "This server requires a SSL". It should then put the
Port to 465, if it doesn't make it that

For INCOMING: TICK "This server requires a SSL". It should then put the
Port to 995, if it doesn't make it that

Nothing else on this page is needed to be ticked

DON'T FORGET to click APPLY at the bottom

That HAS to work. If not then those ports are being blocked by either your
Firewall (turn Firewall off to prove this) or by your ISP (need to call
them) or possibly even your Router (go into set-up page for your Router or
call the Router Manufacturers Help desk)

We, I mean you, DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, I am so flubbing tierd, I have already forgotten what it was that
wasn't right. Oh, it was "use same settings etc.". That and I was checking
and unchecking the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" and "Server
Requires Authentication" with all the different directions.

THANK YOU, Frenchy!!!!!!!!!!!!
