Setting up Gmail in Windows Stay Mail
Setting up your Gmail e-mail account in Windows Live Mail is a streamlined process.
When you first you run Windows Reside Mail,
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 Serial, the "Add an E-mail Account" dialog automatically opens. If it doesn't appear, or if you already have setup electronic mail accounts aside from Gmail, locate the "Add an e-mail account" button in Windows Reside Mail's left pane; click this button to open the electronic mail account wizard:
Before you can use Windows Reside Mail and Gmail together, you need to enable IMAP in Gmail itself. Click the Settings link in Gmail, and the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab: choose Enable IMAP, and click the Save Changes button:
Enter your Gmail account information
Under "E-mail address", type your full Gmail email address in the format yourUserName@gmail.com. Enter your Gmail password in the second field. By default, Windows Live Mail will remember your Gmail password; you can uncheck the "Remember password" checkbox.
The last field ("Display Name") determines how emails you send appear to recipients (in their "From" field). The display name can be anything, and doesn't have to match your Gmail email address; your choice of display name doesn't affect your Gmail account itself, only emails you send through Gmail from Windows Stay Mail.
Check the "Manually configure server settings for e-mail account" checkbox if you want to manually setup Gmail in Windows Stay Mail. Because Gmail is a popular e mail provider, Windows Stay Mail knows how to automatically set it up for you.
