Answer
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
| Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: | imap.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 993 |
| Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: | smtp.gmail.com (use authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587 |
| Account Name: | your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com |
| Email Address: | your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com |
| Password: | your Gmail password |
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
