Log into google mail and at the top right click on settings, then forwarding and pop, and all the settings are in plain view in English and easy to understand.
Dont forget to enable pop.

Double click the AVG Icon in the system tray near the clock then double click on e-mail scanner and then properties and then servers.
FYI
You can edit any existing servers, you dont have to create new ones, you could if wanted to delete any existing ones then create new ones but editing them is just fine.
lol you have the patience of a saint today!! :P delving into avg now will report back to u xx :T This site is great! Thanks to Martin Lewis & everyone who participates and helps so many people! Without you all, where would we be ??:T

When you entered your details in the setup of google in Windows mail did you put in the password and username correctly as the server is timing out due to a username/password error.
Tools, Accounts, Properties, Servers Tab, and only put in the email adress before the @ symbol and re-insert your password again Ok all the way out.
Have double checked and yes definately have email addy and password entered correctly omg am i frustrated lol cant imagine how your feeling :rolleyes: :rotfl::T This site is great! Thanks to Martin Lewis & everyone who participates and helps so many people! Without you all, where would we be ??:T

Well Im feeling great as I have just finished putting up a fence panel and back gate and fence poles, im chuffing tired but im on a promise 2nite, lol.
Is your firewall stopping a connection.
In vista,

Now all you have to do is let the AVG email scanner access.
The ones you want to tick all begin with avg (there should only be 4)
Well the promise sounds loads better than an easter egg so good luck to you :rotfl: :rotfl: will check out the link you have given me above and HOPEFULLY i will be sorted but will of course report back lol failing this working i recon you are gonna have to get onto my pc via msn and sort it for me lol At this rate i need some vino im getting stressed with it lol DAMN PC's lol:T This site is great!
