I have read that there are quite a few people having problems setting up IMAP with Windows 6.1

The instructions below should assist you setting this up.

1. Click on "Start", then "Programmes" and then ""Messaging".  You should then see the options of setting up an E-mail account.

2. Click on "Set up New E-mail address".

3. Enter your email address (E.g. gmail@gmmail.com) but make sure you mistype Gmail and type gmmail. This is very important and I will explain why next.

4. Enter your Gmail password and click next.

5. The next page will display “Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the internet”. Uncheck this box. (If you did not mistype your @gmmail.com address on step number 3, then Palm Treo Pro will get the POP settings of Gmail and will activate your POP settings on your Gmail account. We don’t want that and want to use IMAP. Click next after unchecking the box.

6.  Select Internet e-mail as your e-mail provider and click next.

7. Enter your name as you would like it to appear on your outgoing emails.

8. Change the account display name from “gmmail.com” to “gmail.com” and click next.

9.Type imap.googlemail.com as your incoming mail server.

10  Select IMAP as the account type and click next.

11. Enter your Gmail User name (e.g. tony@gmail.com).

12. Enter you Gmail password and check the save password box and click next.

13. Enter the outgoing server “smtp.googlemail.com”.

14. Check “Outgoing server requires authentication”.

15.  Check “Use the same user name and password for sending e-mail”. Click advanced settings and check “Require SSL for Incoming e-mail” and “Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail”. Network connection “The Internet” and click done.

16. Click Next. Change Automatic Send/Receive to whatever you want. Mine is at “Every 5 minutes”.

17. Click Finish.

18. Go back to Messaging-Highlight Gmail- Use menu tab and go to options-double click on gmail- Review settings- change email address from @gmmail.com to @gmail.com (and click next until you finish).

19. All done. Palm Treo Pro configured to IMAP.
