so if you configure your Gmail account to enable IMAP or POP3 you can use it with things like Outlook Express, or Windows Live Mail with the right settings.
As I remember, just configure the IMAP and SMTP addresses, along with the ports, enable the SSL option (in Advanced, in the configuration of the email account) and enable the option “My server requires authentication” (under Servers, in your e-mail account setup). It works normally here.
Me too, when i had Windows XP i used my GMail account on Outlook Express 6, now i use it on Windows Mail on Windows 7 (if you want to have Windows Mail of Vista in Windows 7, install this: Windows Mail in Windows 7.zip (721,2 KB)
I’ll explain something, the Windows Mail of Vista is included on Windows 7, but not activated, this file activates it and you can use it normally
