I have been using POP3 for a few weeks in windows mail to access my gmail
account and have just set up a seperate IMAP account with the same
credentials and am getting the same error.

The initial flash error reads (cut and paste doesn't work)
Account: imap.gmail.com
Server: imap.gmail.com
username:
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 993
Secure(SSL): 1
Code: 800cccd01


Please note that I removed my password from the POP3 account to prevent it
accessing gmail while I tried out IMAP. Is it possible that others have
done the same and that the invalid account details error relates to the POP3
access failure and not to the IMAP itself ? (Am going to delete the POP3
account to see if it cures the problem)

The errors below are from the transfer window (which does allow copy and
paste) and all have different error codes to the one provided in the flash
window..

Account: 'gMail', Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC17

Header download for the '[Gmail]' folder did not complete. Could not select
'[Gmail]' on the IMAP server. You might try refreshing your folder list to
synchronize with the IMAP server. Account: 'imap.gmail.com', Server:
'imap.gmail.com', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'Unknown Mailbox: [Gmail]
(Failure)', Port: 993, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCCD2


Windows Mail could not download the requested message. It is likely that the
message was removed or expired from the server. Your IMAP server has closed
the connection. This may occur if you have left the connection idle for too
long. Subject 'Merc', Account: 'imap.gmail.com', Server: 'imap.gmail.com',
Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'System Error', Port: 993, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Error Number: 0x800CCCDD

Ok, really frustrated. I've got two emails, both gmail accounts. When I first
set them up everything worked perfect. I know that I have the right port
numbers as directed by gmail, I also know that I have my user name and
password entered correctly. When I open my windows mail it will work just
fine at first, but after having it open for a short time I get these error
messages telling me that "The server has rejected your login. Please verify
that your username and
password are correct" . When it gives me the box to put the information in I
know that I put it in correctly, but the same error pops up over and over.
I'm sure it has to be something with the way it's working with IMAP or
something because I never had this issue with outlook and my pop mail
accounts. If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Should I go
back to Mozilla's thunderbird email? Would that be able to handle the IMAP
better? Vista issue maybe? Anyways thanks in advance for any help or
suggestions.
