Windows Live Mail problem

[Eneswar]

Hey all, I have two problems with Windows Live Mail that is really starting to anoy me.

First of all I use 2 accounts for WLM, one of them is Hotmal and other one is Gmail.
The problems I have seems to be only for Gmail account, and yes I have forwarded it correctly on Gmail settings.

When I get an email from Gmail it always shows as 2 on WLM, almost like its an copy or something, so when I get email from say 3 friends, there is 6 of them...

The second problem I have is that deleted emails time to time comes back. Sometimes when I re-open WLM I can have 200 emails thats 1-2 months old.

However when i check the Gmail website it all seems and shows fine...

Is there a way I can solve this issue?
Thank you in advance

Hi Eneswar.

Check if you have "Forwarding" enabled in your G Mail settings. If it is, set it to "Disable forwarding".

This could be the cause of you receiving duplicate mails.

Hope this helps.

Hello V3xar, thank you for the reply.
I just checked and the Forwarding was already set on "Disable forwarding"

Eneswar,

In your G Mail settings make sure that you have POP Download disabled and IMAP Access enabled.



In your Windows Live Mail "Servers" window, ensure that "Leave a copy of the messages on the server" is disabled.



That should sort both your problems out.

Hey V3xar, thank you once again.

I have now disabled POP download, IMAP Access was already enabled.

However I'm not able to find the "leave a copy of the messages on the server" part. Tho im not sure if im in the correct "Servers" window as you mentioned. I right clicked on Gmail on WLM and went to the one at the bottom, advance maybe its called, I'm bad at translating, but there is a "servers" tab there but there is no "leave a copy of the messages on the server"

Thanks again

My fault Eneswar, WLM does not have that setting. I don't use it so was going from memory.

You should now not receive duplicate mails. Let us know if you do and I will see what else we can try.

[Eneswar]

Ah right, thank you V3xar, lets hope this is sorted
+rep for helping!

 

[V3xar]

Thanks Eneswar.

I'll keep an eye out and if I find anything further will let you know!

Go to "Tools" , "Accounts" select account and select "Properties" and then "Advanced" . Its at the bottom.

Hiya Jim

I don't seem to have that option unless I am missing something.



Any ideas?


.

 

[Eneswar]

Yea, same for me, I have no such thing.
Also I still seem to get dublicated emails even after i disabled the POP.


Edit: Maybe I just have to survive with this until office/outlook 2010 comes out
Shall i enable POP again btw or should it be on disable?

Here is what I have:





Are you running a different version?

That is because you are using a POP account instead of IMAP Phone Man.

Eneswar try changing yyour mail settings in Gmail as follows: Disable IMAP, enable POP for mail that arrives from now onand select "archive Google mails copy"

Then delete your G Mail account from WLM and do the following:


Add account-e mail account-enter e mail address,password and display name-tick manually configure server settings.

Enter the following settings:

[SIZE=-1]Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:[/SIZE] [FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono][SIZE=-1]pop.gmail.com[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=-1]
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995 [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL:[/SIZE] [FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono][SIZE=-1]smtp.gmail.com[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=-1] (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Account Name: [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]your full email address (including [FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]@gmail.com[/FONT] or [FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]@your_domain.com[/FONT]) [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Email Address: [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]your email address ([FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono][email protected][/FONT] or [FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]username@your_domain.com[/FONT]) [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Password: [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]your Gmail password [/SIZE]

You should now be able to access the "Leave a copy on the server" settings.

Err, it suddenly stopped with dublicated emails, I didnt change anything since yesterday..
Lets see how long this lasts I will try what you wrote V3xar if it suddenly starts again

 

[V3xar]

Good to hear that Eneswar.

If the problem starts reoccurring let us know.

[Eneswar]

Eugh never mind I was wrong, it still gives me dublicates.
I will try what you wrote V3xar but im a bit unsecure about the settings, I will post a screenshot so you can see if i have added everything in the correct place.

 

[Eneswar]

My problems is solved thanks to V3xar, Thanks alot!

 

[V3xar]

It's a pleasure Eneswar.

I got to learn a few things I didn't know either. I am glad your problem is sorted out.
