'[Gmail]' folder did not complete. Could not select '[Gmail]' on the IMAP server.

OT: gmail problem.

Hi there I am getting the following error when using gmail  Header download for the '[Gmail]' folder did not complete. Could not select '[Gmail]' on the IMAP server. You might try refreshing your folder list to synchronize with the IMAP server. Account: 'imap.gmail.com', Server: 'imap.gmail.com', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'NONEXISTENT] Unknown Mailbox: [Gmail] (Failure)', Port: 993, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCCD2

Been told it means you are attempting to downloadmessages from the[gmail] folder-which isnt a folder at all but just a title and contains no messages So go into your mail settings and prevent mail from synchronising or subscribing to the [gmail] folder

Can anyone tell me how to do this in windows mail that came with Vista Many thanks Mary

Hi looking through the search function i found this reply
[Gmail] is a virtual folder which should not be polled for mail.
In the left (folder) pane of Windows Mail, right-click on [Gmail],
select Synchronization Settings, Don't Synchronize.
this has cured my problem

If you have changed gmail user interface language, folders names changed too. Reset all IMAP folders and reload them.
