From: nn on 9 Mar 2010 07:03 To everyone (no one forgotten) that tried to help – Thank you! To Mr Bruce: The settings worked partly for me. I did received an e mail (sent from a hotmail account) on the new netbook (Outlook Express). But the side effect was that the e mail did NOT come to the first computer (the stationary that uses Windows mail). iow: pc2 works but not pc1. To Mr Mike: The settings with “Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices” – the “recent-settings” - resulted the other way around. I could receive an e-mail on the stationary windows mail computer, but NOT on the netbook Outlook Express computer. iow: pc1 works but not pc2 Therefore I once again tried the settings of “Enabling IMAP”. I think that sounded a better solution for me. I think I have followed the instructions BUT the problem is the settings of the actual Windows mail- and Outlook Express programs. It now says “The server for incoming e-mail is a pop3-server”. I wanted to change that to IMAP-server, but that´s not possible. The word POP3 is stuck. Prior to that I have changed the settings on Google Gmail where POP is deactivated and IMAP is activated and I have saved. To PA Bear Maybe you wre saying something interesting but I didn´t understand it. Are you saying that I should install Windows Mail on the netbook as well? So I am still not out of the woods with this one.. /Ove, Stockholm
From: nn on 9 Mar 2010 08:52 After experimenting and not succeding with the IMAP-server settings I have temporarily gone back to the old settings of Gmail (the recent parameter in POP settings). That resulted in 800 mails now turning up again on the Whindows Mail. These mails were previously erased - I erased them from the Windows mail and not the Gmail. A long work lies ahead of me in determining what was and what was not erased earlier. I would naturally prefer a solution that means that an erased mail i Windows Mailguarantees that it is also erased from the Gmail. How do I manage the settings? I supoose this question is just a continuation. I have - for the time being - given up the idea of running Outlook Express on pc2. I am just gonna go Gmail there. But I absolutely want that an erased mail on the Windows mail (pc1) shall be automatically erased also from Gmail. Is this possible, given the problem of settings with the IMAP-server? Ove, again

No, my instructions tell you how to have your Gmail account set up for POP3 access in each Mail Client (OE in WinXP & WinMail in Vista) such that all messages in your inbox at http://mail.google.com will download into your OE & WinMail inboxes. |
