Dear Member,
I have been trying to download my messages from my gmail account with windows live mail 2011.
I have various folders in the gmail account (viz. inbox, all mail etc.) and have various labels applied to my emails. The total no. of emails in my mailbox is about 25000.
Now while downloading my mails with windows live, what I am observing is that the windows live has created its own folder for each folder in gmail and for each label in gmail and while synchronising the mailbox, the windows live has downloaded all the mails in gmail's inbox, then downloaded the same emails again while synchronising the all mails folder and then downloaded the same mails again while synchronising each and every other folder and label.
This is resulting in repeated downloads of same mail and lots of storage space being occupied.
Though the total storage space that's occupied in gmail is about 13GB, its already about 20GB that's consumed on my hard drive and mails are still downloading.
What is the best way to synchronise windows live mail to gmail and is there any other utility that's better than windows live mail?
Regards
Nitin Mahajan
