unable to download Gmail to Vista's Windows Mail

Hi, does anyone have the problem downloading Gmail mails? I can use Outlook
2003 to download Gmail. however, when I am trying to download Gmail from
Windows Mail with the same account setting. I am keep getting the dialog box
asking me to enter the log name and password.

Thanks,

Carl

Verify that your settings are like these shown for OE...
especially the ports.

Re: unable to download Gmail to Vista's Windows Mail


here carl this is better to understand if it doesn't work on one port
try the other

'Gmail: Help Center - Configuring other mail clients'
(http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13287)

i have it as default as i said no spam all stays on gmail i find it
very good i don't know how long it will be free like a lot of things
after a time they will charge
