OS - win 8.1
Have a GMAIL account and an Outlook.com account

In the outlook account have a folder *****@outlook.com which is where incoming email is landing - prefer it to default to the inbox.

I have set up the gmail account to autoforward to the outlook account -

following other guidance today installed windows live essentials to use to move over the gmail folder messages to the outlook account - this worked but since then the mail app in metro cannot connect to outlook and when in outlook.com incoming goes to the ****@outlook.com folder not the inbox


in windows live everything is ok

confused . . . .
