Computer 1: (stationary)
Runs on broadband, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Vista, Windows mail

Computer 2 (netbook):

I have configurated my e-mail account by just mirroring the settings from
computer 1 to computer 2. It doesn´t work. Possible to fix it?

Thankful for all help I can get.

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

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

It what way doesn't it work?

By default using POP3 with Gmail, message will download to only on PC.
This is a Gmail "feature". To download messages to both, see
Gmail: Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=47948

Another option with Gmail is to use IMAP. In this case the mail
programs mirror the web mail. Any changes made in either PC or the web
get reflected in the others next time you synch. This includes deleting
messages or moving between folders.

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.

This is what I want. I have now tried a third time to do the settings for
the IMAP in the Gmail as well as in the Windows mail. I have started a new
account in the Gmail instead of trying to change the old one and made it the
standard one. There the famous drop curtain actually existed and I could
click for IMAP. The rest of the settings are as follows. Unfortunately 800
new messages come again. The second time today.

So my concern this time is only the first stationary computer with Windows
mail.

The Gmail account - Settings -Forwarding and POP/IMAP a
1. Status: POP is activated for all mails that has arrived since 2009-10-28
Enable POP for all mail
Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP

(Nothing else is clicked)

2. When messages are fetched with POP – erase G mails copy

3 Imap has been activated


The settings in the Windows mail a
Under server:
The server for incoming e mail is an IMAP – server
Incoming e-mail (IMAP): Pop.gmail.com
Outgoing e-mail (smtp): smtp.gmail.com

Under advanced:
Outgoing e-mail (smtp): 25
Incoming e-mail (IMAP): 995

Under IMAP
“the pathway of the toot..�: ????

So my questions are
1. Are the settings right in the Windows mail? The ports?
2. What shall I do with the pathway of the root ?? (in amateurish
translation)
3. How can I get rid of the 1600 new messages? Messages that I probably
erased over time from Windows mail but not from Gmail
4. Is the following setting correct? “When messages are fetched with POP –
erase G mails copy�

If someone would just give a comment I will e-mail you a Schwarzwald cake,
or at least be very thankful!

and thanks everyone else too for good ideas.
