Hi, can anyone help with this problem please. I hope this is the right forum if not please advise where I should post this query.
If I access my gmail account in a browser I have no problems sending or receiving email, even when hiding my IP address (for example when using unprotected WIFI access points).
However as soon as I try access my gmail account using Windows Live Mail (whether hiding my IP address or not) I regularly get an error "The server has rejected your login. Please verify that your user name and password are correct".
I've investigated this in Live Mail support pages and my gmail setup is as advised as is my WLM setup.
Any ideas appreciated? THIS PROBLEM HAS SOMEHOW CORRECTED ITSELF - NO MORE REPLIES PLEASE. THANK YOU.
