    Re: Gmail as default email


    It admits the account but refuses to authenticate. I need to try a couple of things first.

    I went to a site I know only had email here, and clicked on it, windows mail opened, so I checked add details and google had appeared. So I put in my gmail details and it refused it.( twice).

    Sign into the account via the web, go to My Account/Sign-in & security, scroll to the bottom and switch 'Allow less secure apps' ON

    Did you also enable IMAP within the account?


    Re: Gmail as default email [​IMG]


    If you have 'Less secure apps' enabled and IMAP enabled, it should authenticate.

    A little trick that not many people know. Go to the page that you want to visit. In the upper left of the site address (just before https) you will see a small symbol. Drag that symbol to your desktop. It becomes an icon, (which you can change). You now have a shortcut to the site.

    I have a gmail account. I just tried it and the symbol is the small lock icon.
    I have never visited a site that did not have some type of symbol.
