I'm afraid that this is a problem with windows mail. to access Gmail you
need a secure connection on port 995 this is fuctionallity not built
into windows mail.

all is not lost though you need to get windows live mail (free from
microsoft) which is basically a replacement for the version that ships
with Vista. you can get it 'Here' (http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview)
The program is much better than the original:D. have a look on google's
help to find the settings you need once you have it downloaded and
installed

if you have any problems post back and I or someone here will be
pleased to guide you through it.

You are dead wrong. Gmail works just fine in Windows Mail if you put in
the correct port numbers.
