Strange, but true.

Windows Mail won't access any web mail accounts, just POP & IMAP.

You can enable POP mail for Gmail, and access it just fine.

OR, you can use the new Windows Live Mail, which will access Hotmail, in
addition to POP & IMAP.

Windows Mail won't work with Hotmail. If you want a program that
will, you could download and install Windows Live Mail:

Yahoo requires a premium account to work with either program:

Gmail will work with Windows Mail:

If you choose the POP method of connecting to Gmail, you need
this method of adjusting your Gmail account first:
