I was trying to set up windows mail for the first time, al was going well
then I got the following message,
Host IMAP cold not be found, please verify that you have entered the server
name correctly.
Your IMAP command could not be sent to the server, due to non - network
errors.This could, for example, indicate a lack of memory on your system.

What do I need to do to rectify this? this is all new to me, thanks

IMAP is not a valid server name, although it is valid as a protocol. Ask
your
email provider for their instructions for setting up to use their email
servers,
which should include the correct server names. Many people choose their
internet providers as their email providers also, since most internet
accounts
include one or more email accounts. If they haven't written instructions
for
Windows Mail yet, their instructions for Outlook Express should also work
under Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol. The
instructions
are probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell us who your
email provider is, and see if anyone here already knows where to find their
instructions.

I dunno. I am having the same problem??????????????????????????????

Is your problem identical to what "pcbltd" reported?
Normally we would expect each person posting here to describe their
own symptoms. Often there are subtle differences which require
different solutions.

If you are trying to set up Gmail's IMAP, follow their directions:

Delete the IMAP account.
Start a new account and specify POP3 for the protocol.

Note that neither IMAP nor POP3 is a valid server name, although both
are valid protocols.
