Question asked on Oct 23, 2017

I'm trying to add a Gmail address to my Live Mail  accounts. I receive a message saying" Live Mail needs to download folders before you can read the messages in this account" When I then click the Download tag I am asked to enter user name and password. When I do this it is rejected for" wrong user name or password for this server". The server is imap.gmail.com   How do I establish a user name and password for this because if I ever had one for imap.gmail.com I don't know it. Why can't I establish a new Gmail address on Live Mail?
