Hi there, I am trying to configure my Gmail account with Windows Live Desktop
Beta and it just doesn't work. I followed Gmails instructions on their site
but everytime I try to sync or connect I get this error:

Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP i5sm403078nzi', Port: 465,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

I put the x's in there just so you know. And yeah, I am not sure why it
isn't working. I configured my Gmail account to use POP so it should work.
Any help will be appreciated thanks!

you have to enable pop access to gmail from the settings in your gmail
account. just sign in to your gmail acount, click on setting, click on pop
and forewarding tab, youll see where it says to enable pop access.

Already did that. Could it be a firewall issue? or a Router issue? I don't
have a firewall aside from Windows Firewall but my router could be plocking
those ports. So, yeah, not sure yet.
 
I'm not sure I'm getting this correctly, but I've looked at the Windows Live
Desktop Beta, and it doesn't seem like they've released it yet. Also, it
says it has built-in Gmail webmail support, so it seems like you wouldn't
need to use a pop server. However, if webmail doesn't work, make sure both
the incoming and outgoing servers require ssl and the outgoing server
requires authentication.

It's is already released - nobody here is trying to configure a non-existing
software.

So, what other server should you use??? Gmail is not a HTTP mail but
POP-based mail; WLMD sopports Gmail the same way it supports other POP3 and
IMAP-based mail providers.
However, if webmail doesn't work, make sure both the incoming and outgoing
servers require ssl and the outgoing server requires authentication.

Agree.

I am putting down my Gmail configuration which is working perfectly. Try to
go through all the parameters one-by-one - hope it will solve the problem.

Incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com

Incoming mail server:
E-mail Username: (e-mail address removed)
Secure password authentication (SSL): no

Outgoing mail server:
Requires authentication: yes

Server port numbers:
Outgoing mail (SMTP): 465
Requires secure connection (SSL): yes
Incoming mail (POP3): 995
Requires secure connection (SSL): yes

Let us know if this will work for you.
