Hey guys! I’m here back with another How to
article. So everybody knows about outlook, if I’m wrong then at least they
heard about Microsoft outlook. Microsoft outlook is an Email client software. You
can set up your Gmail, Yahoo mail, and Hotmail account to allow you to
synchronize email across multiple machines using email clients instead of a
browser.
Let's Configure Microsoft Outlook
To setup your Gmail account to use IMAP, sign in to your Gmail account and go to Mail.
Click the Settings
button in the upper, right corner of the window and select Settings from the
drop-down menu.
On the Settings screen, click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
Scroll down to the IMAP Access section and select Enable IMAP.
Click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen.
Close your browser and open Outlook. To begin adding your
Gmail account, click the File tab.
On the Account Information screen, click Add Account.

On the Add Account dialog box, you can choose the E-mail
Account option which automatically sets up your Gmail account in Outlook. To do
this, enter your name, email address, and the password for your Gmail account
twice. Click Next.

The progress of the setup displays. The automatic process may
or may not work.
If the automatic process fails, select Manual setup or
additional server types, instead of E-mail Account, and click Next.
On the Choose Service screen, select POP or IMAP and click
Next.
On the POP and IMAP Account Settings enter the User, Server, and
Logon Information. For the Server Information, select IMAP from the Account
Type drop-down list and enter the following for the incoming and outgoing
server information:
·
Incoming mail server:
imap.googlemail.com
·
Outgoing mail server
(SMTP): smtp.googlemail.com
Make sure you enter your full email address for the User Name
and select Remember password if you want Outlook to automatically log you in
when checking email. Click More Settings.

On the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box, click the
Outgoing Server tab. Select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires
authentication and make sure the Use same settings as my incoming mail server
option is selected.
While still in the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box, click
the Advanced tab. Enter the following information:
·
Incoming server: 993
·
Incoming server
encrypted connection: SSL
·
Outgoing server
encrypted connection TLS
·
Outgoing server: 587
NOTE: You need to select the type of encrypted connection for
the outgoing server before entering 587 for the Outgoing server (SMTP) port
number. If you enter the port number first, the port number will revert back to
port 25 when you change the type of encrypted connection.
Click OK to accept your changes and close the Internet E-mail
Settings dialog box.

Click Next.
Outlook tests the accounts settings by logging into the
incoming mail server and sending a test email message. When the test is
finished, click Close.
You should see a screen saying “You’re all set!” Click Finish
.
Your Gmail address displays in the account list on the left
with any other email addresses you have added to Outlook. Click the Inbox to
see what’s in your Inbox in your Gmail account.
Because you’re using IMAP in your Gmail account and you used
IMAP to add the account to Outlook, the messages and folders in Outlook reflect
what’s in your Gmail account. Any changes you make to folders and any time you
move email messages among folders in Outlook, the same changes are made in your
Gmail account, as you will see when you log into your Gmail account in a
browser. This works the other way as well. Any changes you make to the
structure of your account (folders, etc.) in a browser will be reflected the
next time you log into your Gmail account in Outlook.
