Windows 8 Fail for Email

I just bought a new laptop and it has Windows 8 as default OS. I tried to add some email accounts and all failed (very common thing for most users)

Try with your Google account: Failed because Google doesn't want to allow that so no matter how hard you tried, you won't be able (at least now they won't allow)

Then I tried to add my Godaddy login.secureserver.net account. Failed because Windows 8 does not accept POP accounts. You must have an IMAP available account but for doing that you need to go to your GoDaddy account and make some arrangements (and payments) before. Too much work if I know I have hundred of apps out there ready to make a fine work adding email accounts.

That's why you Ballmer are getting fired from Microsoft... Learn from experience, man...
