Hi . I need help, I tried to set my email up on Windows mail using, gmail
accounts, gmx and everything you could think. I worked on it for days but
nothing ever worked. I'm pretty sure I put in the right POP and all. What
else can I do? Does Gmail and gmx and all not work on a mail server on the
actual desktop? Please help me?

Then you've set it up incorrectly. gmail works well with Windows mail.
I'm pretty sure I put in the right POP and all.

You also need the correct port numbers and security setttings, plus user IDs
and passwords, etc.

Carefully following all of the directions is probably the best thing to do.
Google has clear directions, for example here:

I don't think that you have a mail server on your desktop. Windows Mail is
an email client, not a server.

After following the directions carefully, posting details of problems would
probably be helpful.
