Gary, thank you so much. I am now up and running for the first time!
I'd had the "Include this account ..." checked originally, but that caused
problems before so I unchecked it. But when I checked it this time, I
immediately started receiving my mail. So the combination of everything
finally worked!
Thanks again so much. My problem is now solved.

Yes, that account definitely appears to be enabled for POP.
When you click Send/Receive, does it appear to go though the motions
of contacting the server? Does it respond with a status message of
"No new messages" in the lower right corner?
Make sure the account is enabled for checking:
Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties. On the General tab
make sure "Include this account..." is checked.

GmaKit said:Additionally, it appears that when I have enabled it, it displays in green
as being enabled but the radio button no long shows filled. I believe
this
is okay even though it does not match your screen link. Here is what it
says:
1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/21/07
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP
2. When messages are accessed with POP keep Gmail's copy in the
Inboxarchive
Gmail's copydelete Gmail's copy
3. Configure your email client (e.g. Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Mail)

Make sure you have the POP option enabled at Gmail:

my

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Uncheck the box for "Log on using Secure Password Authentication."

now getting this error message.

I am getting no errors. The send/receive flashes so quickly, I assumed
it
was doing what it was supposed to do. Any way I can slow that down to
see
if it is displaying a message that I'm not getting or do you think it is
sending/receiving if it is moving quickly and sending no error that I
can
see?

Kathryn
Do you get an error message when you try to receive? If so,
right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply
here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Yes, I have double checked all the settings from the instructions and
it
is still not working.
--
Kathryn
Did you enable Gmail's POP option like it says to do in the
instructions?
--
Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail)
Sorry, I AM able to send, just not receive.

Kathryn
Thanks Dave and Richard,
I have updated the settings as you suggested. I am not able to
send,
but don't seem to be receiving yet. I've hit SEND/RECIEVE a few
times and this does appear to be successful but nothing comes in.
I
did receive messages in my Gmail account however.

It's not clear which program you wish to use, Windows Mail or
Windows Live Mail.
However, to access Gmail, you need to enable POP on the server,
and
follow these directions...

I tried to set up my mail system, but keep having problems. I
am
unable to send or receive.
I finally downloaded the Windows Live as it was recommended in
the
help section.
(FYI - I am running Vista Ultimate and would like my Gmail
account
to be
fed into Windows Mail). Anyway, the help section said it would
take care of
all my errors and problems for me by setting up my account for
me
when I
downloaded Windows Live. Good deal, huh? Didn't work though.
When I open
Windows Mail I immediately get the following error messages:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might
not
be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving
this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and
read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help
determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service
provider.
The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject
