#Configure live mail for gmail windows 10

So, it would seem that the problem lies with Windows 10 / Windows Live Mail ? Just out of interest, I set up my new gmail account on my Samsung Mobile phone and my Tablet and both these devices can access and send and receive emails using my new gmail account. The strange thing is that my original gmail account is fully accessible using the same computer and Windows Live Mail and the same email settings !! I know that my login details (name and password) and email account settings are correct - I double checked them - so why I am being denied access to my new account, is beyond me. Google will automatically turn this setting OFF if it's not being used.' You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks. Looking further on my new account page I found the following :'Less secure app blocked.Google blocked the app you were trying to use because it doesn't meet our security standards.Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account more vulnerable. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access.'I confirmed that it was me who attempted to log in but further attempts to log in still failed. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Please verify that your username and password are correct.'I accessed my new account on Google's website and noted a comment in my new account page which stated :'Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app.

I have checked all the settings and they are correct and identical to my original gmail account, which I've been using for a long time without any problems.My original gmail account is working fine but when I try to access my new gmail account, I am totally unable to do so.The error message I receive is as follows : 'The server has rejected your login. I have just set up an additional gmail account within Windows Live Mail 2012 and Windows 10 pro.
