Well Mr Gary and Mr Peter!
Thank you ever so much! It worked!!!
The steps I have taken are:
A. Uninstalled the Uniblue Registrybooster 2010.
B. Made adjustments in the F-secure settings as follows (amateurly
translated from the swedish program verison into english):
1. Under “Virus and spy programs” I have unclicked “search for and delete
virus from e-post messages”.
2. I have deactivated the firewall (already have the Windows firewall).
3. Under program control I saw that under “outgoing” it was clicked “deny”.
I clicked to “allow” under the “information” marker.
4. Under “e-mail filtering” I have deactivated the whole function.
All other settings in the Windows Mail are as before. Oddly enough the
"enable pop" marker still becomes unclicked in the Gmail settings but it
works anyway.
The result
A. Windows Mail now works! I can send and receive Gmail in the Windows mail.
B. A side effect is that I have received 700 mails that were earlier deleted
dating from the dark ages and on wards. But that is all deleted and sorted
out now.
As a bonus it still works to receive Gmail in the mobile phone.
I have to take my hat off for your proffessional information!
Yet, I have to say that the way the different error messages initially were
presented did not at all make suspect there was something wrong with the
antivirus settings (I mean, socket-error 10013 sounds like a serious machinal
problem problem or something, far away from the F-secure settings). So I
learned something new about this antivirus overkill. Well I guess it could
have been the Uniblue program too but I rather suspect the settings in the
F-Secure program.
Regardless, thank you ever so much! This information was really helpful.
