Yes the clock is set correctly / correct timezone.


Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Still not working?


Regards,

Last time that I set up a Gmail account with an email client the first time I changed the settings through the web interface for some reason the POP settings weren't saved. It might be worth a couple of minutes of your time to recheck that everything is saved correctly.

Try with Thunderbird and see how you go.

Well I gave up using windows live for this.

I am now using pop peeper and it's working.

Not sure what's going on with windows live.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.

I've seen many instances in Windows Live where initial acct setup gets fubared and simply deleting/re-creating acct gets her going.
