Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up Windows Live mail
Hi susan, when using IMAP, if you delete messages in live mail, then there's also be deleted from the gmail server. Similarly if you delete from the web interface, there's also be deleted from live mail. If there's a need then you can set the synchronization setting of each folder of the gmail account in live mail, but normally this isn't necessary. If you open a folder's context menu, there's a synchronization sub menu which has a number of options. With regard to turning off preview panes, etc, this is covered in the jaws guide I referred to in my last email: http://goo.gl/mnHqJ David. - Original Message - From: susan susan.wojte...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Cc: Sent: Tuesday, 7 February 2012, 15:33 Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up Windows Live mail Hi Steve and Dave, Many thanks for your responses. The solution to my problem turned out to be embarrassingly simple--I had forgotten to confirm my settings in gmail so the imap settings weren't being recognized at the login prompt. Anyway, now that I've synched up my account, what is the easiest way to clean up all the old messages that migrated from the gmail server? I want to be sure that Windows Live is not going to download all of them the next time I reopen it. Also, what are the recommended settings to increase accessibility? For example, I think I remember reading something about turning off the preview and folder panes but can't quite find them. I'm still getting somewhat lost within the program, especially with the ribbons.

These determine which of the components you will be installing. If you don't want anything else, then just uncheck all of them except for the mail program itself. Second, you have two choices here. When you install Gmail, when you run Livemail, you can tell it your GMail address and it will automatically configure that for you, but it will configure it as a Mapi email client. If you want, you can set up Gmail manually instead. I'm going from memory here, because our Windows Live Mail is the earlier version that doesn't have the ribbons. In that version, accounts was under the Tools menu. I think you need to go to the Office Ribbon with alt-h and look for accounts. Or, it could be under the Options tab that you can access with control-shift-o, but I am not certain about that. Microsoft says when you open WLM, you click on Mail and then you will see accounts, for whatever that's worth. Once you find accounts, you do things in the same way that you did for Outlook Express. On the first tab, you enter in your Gmail address, password etc. Then, you go to the servers tab to specify the Gmail Pop3 and SMTP. You will need to go to the advanced tab to specify the port numbers and enable SSL checkboxes. NOTE: Before you set up your email in Google Mail, you need to log-in to Google Mail and check the radio button to enable Pop3. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
