Operating system for the specified computer is Windows 7 Home premium 64-bits.

Here is what exactly happens...

1. open the client, (or switch to it, if it's already open)

2. Read all NEW unread emails

3. Click Send/Receive, or wait until WLM does this automatically

Quite often, email messages that have been read will suddenly be marked as unread, and I will have to view them again in windows live mail, and send/receive again to get it to keep them that way. This only seems to happen with gmail, and I'm not sure why. I also often get an error popup that says the server terminated the connection.

I also don't understand why Windows Live Mail forces the use of IMAP for Gmail. I'd prefer to use POP access for my gmail account, as I've found it to be far more stable.
