Update. I did a system restore, then re-added the account after removing all folders from my gmail home page. Recreated the folders and it seems to be working ok now. Still trying to get the kinks out of getting certain mail to download into my recreated folders in WLM. At least I can get email in WLM. I dislike having to go to the web for it. Thank you everyone who tried to help me.

I managed to download the WLM software on my new laptop.

But non of the hotmail/gmail addresses I entered actually worked.

And I did it EXACTLY the same way as always - so I think it really sopped supporting anything.
