    So I just installed WIndows 7, and I always enjoyed Windows mail as a quick way to check my email, so I installed Windows Live Mail.

    I found a few guides for setitng up POP3 with it, but for some reason, pop3 is not an option for mea t all. I cannot change my incoming server type to POP???!?

    I believe this is the problem, and then when I try to just ignore it and follow the instructions to pop from gmail anyway, I get a authentication error, but I believe this is because its trying to connect to IMAP instead of pop and I Can't change it!

    Please help!
    How do I pop my gmail to windows live mail!
