I am using W8.1 and trying to install Gmail as my e-mail client. Whenever I get this successfully set up (as I think) it gets taken over by "Mail" which seems to be the default W8 e-mail, and loses all the Gmail options. Where am I going wrong? How can I prevent the hijacking of Gmail by Mail? |

Do you mean Gmail notifier or something else? If you do try some of the options here (superuser.com) |

Hi Speedy. What I mean is that the actual Gmail screen is replaced by the Mail e-mail screen, which presumably links to gmail somewhere in the background. Mail has very limited options, available only through charms/settings/accounts, whereas the full Gmail screen has many set-up options. |

But what Gmail program are you talking about?? Did you check the link I posted? |

Gmail is not an email client, it is simply an email provider. Windows Mail is an email client. One access the other. ;) |

Just log into your email account using your browser. It is all familiar then. |

Ah! That makes sense, and explains exactly what I see on screen. Thanks. |
