@Marlow Aster- I’m not seeing that option with my Gmail…I followed your instructions, but did not see that option. Was this with POP3 email? Please let me know so that I can configure this…it is a setting I would really like control over, thanks.

You can change the frequency with how often each email is checked in gmail, by going into the Accounts and Import screen, going to the “edit info” tab for the selected email, and right clicking on it. Hover on the “Reload Every” selection, and the arrow shows different time options with how often the email is checked for updates. You can even customise the frequency if you wish.

Hi Gil – Thanks so much for writing back. I too, apologize for the long delay.

Yes, I did set up my live account using my domain name and never had an address with live or hotmail in it – only my domain. So, that is the problem then?

As far as enabling POP/IMAP, I’ve looked and looked and don’t see this setting anywhere.

I have my live mail imported into outlook 2007, and the setting on that is ‘MAPI’ – which was done for me by outlook.

But, if you think it’s my domain that is preventing this, I will live with it. Thanks again.

@Lynn Dye: I’m sorry for the delayed response. I’m catching up with comments.

The fact that you are using your own domain could be causing the issue. When you are setting this up you are using the lynndye.com address correct? What was your original hotmail/live mail account? Have you tried using those. Also have you enabled POP3/IMAP access on your hotmail/live account? Let me know so I can better assist you. Thanks.

Hi Gil,
Thanks for replying back. I went back to try it again and here’s the message I got:
Show error details Server returned error: “We were unable to locate the other domain. Please contact your other provider.”

I’m wondering if it’s not working since I use live mail with my own domain (lynndye.com). Perhaps it only works if the domain has hotmail or live in it.
Regards,
Lynn

@Lynn Dye: The article I wrote above was created by adding my Hotmail account to Gmail. It seems to work just fine. What error did you receive?

POP 3 is the protocol used, refer to Step 4 where it pictures POP Server – Gmail should have automatically populated that field with the pop3.live.com.

Please let me know if this helps. Thank you for the feedback.

It’s my understanding that internet accounts can not be added to Gmail. I tried to add my live account and it wouldn’t work.

According to the Google help, they only support POP & IMAP for this feature.

If you’ve found a way, I’d like to hear about it. Thanks for the good article.
