I am using Windows 7 Professional and Windows Live Mail and I'm unable to setup or access any IMAP email account.
I have Telnet started and running.
Is there any other service I need to have running to be able to access IMAP accounts?
my error message is
Configuration:
Account: Gmail (finninj)
Server: imap.gmail.com
User name: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 993
Secure(SSL): 1
Code: 800ccc0e
I have also tried to set up my gmail account in Zimpra desktop and Outlook 2007 and I am unable to do so.

Why IMAP and Not pop3?
Did you configured correctly the SMTP?

I have tried every iteration of gmail that I can with no luck.
Ihave tried to set-up my wife's gmail account in Outlook 7, Windows Live and a desktop program called Zimbra and have not been able to set it up as POP or IMAP.
I have tried a variety of different ports and other tweaks and nothing seems to work.
