Additional Details
I installed Windows Live Mail on 6 December 2011 and added a Google Mail account to it. It was working fine until about a week ago when every time I went to check my mail it would give me the following message:
Windows Live Mail
Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks.
Please review the list of errors below for more details.

I clicked on the Error tab in that window and there was nothing listed there. I closed out of the windows and clicked on the button to check my mail again and no error message. The next time I want to check my mail I get that error message and I close out of that window and check it again and it works with no issue. It has been like this for about a week and it becoming annoying.
What is the issue and how do I fix it or are Google Mail accounts not compatible with this application. I used the IMAP settings.

Sorry, I've no idea. Ask the Windows/IE experts.

What if I did a Windows 7 repair install would that work
Sorry if I seem to have abandoned you. I do know a bit about Windows Live Mail, but the intricacies of Internet Explorer and problems with it are beyond my ken. That's why I suggested that you should post in an IE forum. If you're as persistent there as you have been here, you're sure to get a satisfactory result sooner or later.
I would also point out that IE is much more than a browser; it's an integral part of the operating system and provides functionality for many bits of Windows as well as for other programs like Office and WLMail - and, for all I know, for other browsers as well. It's important to have it working properly.
I've already said my piece about aggressive security software like McAfee and Norton. I wouldn't allow any of their products anywhere near my machine.
