Gmail won't download headers!

[DJFetterman]

Greetings! I am using Windows Mail with Gmail's IMAP configured. I've
configured it in Windows Mail as per the directions in the Gmail web site.
Regardless, I get this error message every time I try to check my Gmail:
"Header download for the '[Gmail]' folder did not complete. Could not select
'[Gmail]' on the IMAP server. You might try refreshing your folder list to
synchronize with the IMAP server. Account: 'Gmail', Server:
'imap.gmail.com', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'Unknown Mailbox: [Gmail]
(Failure)', Port: 993, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCCD2"
Why? And how do I fix it? Thanks!

Did you enable IMAP on the server first?

The folder [Gmail] should not be updated because it is not a real folder.
You need to change to "don't synchronize" in the right-click options
"synchronizaiton settings", when right-clicking the folder [Gmail]

Don't know about imap, but I can use Gmail with POP account without
problems...

Thanks to all of you for the quick, helpful replies, especially Cid. I
changed my synchronization settings and now everything seems to be working
fine. Thanks again!!
