Ok, thanks. I’ll try somewhere else for a solution.

I’ve tried again but this time with IMAP. It went ok (still a bit messy at the moment with the extra folders) but I’m having a problem with “All Mail”. I’ve disabled it but it keeps downloading all my messages from Gmail (’000’s of them) I already have all these messages in my inbox and sent message folders so how can I stop “all Mail” from continually downloading my messages.

If I delete them they start to download again. can anyone please help?

thanks

not having much luck with IMAP. Think I’ll go back to POP3 but it doesn’t seem to download all my messages. It’s giving me a pain in the tits to be honest.

Thank you so much for this article. I’ve been trying to set up my gmail account on Windows Live Mail using IMAP for a couple of days now and was unsuccessful until I read your article.

Thanks again for the comprehensive instructions

Awesome! This post totally made my day! I had tried syncing the two via POP server and it was disastrous! Gmail has been loading so slowly these days, and the format of the page is all jacked up (has anyone else noticed that?), so it’s a huge relief to be able to access it without all the hassle of reloading the gmail page, and re-reloading it, and re-re-reloading it…. Anyway, thanks!
