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.

It still doesn't work for me. It keeps asking me to sign in and I do! And it won't sign me in! I'm not mad at anyone here I am mad at my computer. It's such a jerk!
The link https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en worked straight away for me and emails now arriving in WLM inbox from Gmail. Thank you.
oh dear....microsoft....windows whoever the **** it is why do you keep **** with stuff.....none of it works properly so you bribe people with free windows 10 so they forget how **** you are. **** useless ****.
I was having the same trouble getting my Gmail account to work with WLM. There are instructions over here on Google's site https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en&rd=1#ts=1665018,1665137,2769074 The key piece of info to getting it to work with WLM is turning OFF "access for less secure apps". There is a link in that article that will take you to that screen in Google if you are already logged in. This process has probably changed a bit over time, but as of Nov 2015 I was finally able to connect my Gmail account and all folders to my Windows Live Mail.
