Setting up Gmail in Windows Live Mail

The last field ("Display Name") determines how emails you send appear to recipients (in their "From" field). The display name can be anything, and doesn't have to match your Gmail e mail address; your choice of display name doesn't affect your Gmail account itself, only emails you send through Gmail from Windows Dwell Mail.
Check the "Manually configure server settings for e-mail account" checkbox if you want to manually setup Gmail in Windows Dwell Mail. Because Gmail is a popular email provider, Windows Dwell Mail knows how to automatically set it up for you.
