How to Set Up Gmail in Outlook for Beginners [IMAP & POP3] (Tutorial)

[@memstechtips]

📌As mentioned by a commenter, I forgot a crucial step in this guide and that is enabling POP3/IMAP email forwarding in the Gmail settings. I created a video on that which is linked below. 🔗kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWzeGyomrBqqrc

How to set up Gmail in Outlook for beginners [IMAP & POP3] (tutorial). Very calmly and clearly explained. So I was able to execute your clear instructions very calmly in one go. Excellent, impressive quality. I haven't found a better tutorial than yours anywhere on the Internet. Congratulations.

[@mayur9870]

Thanks for the detailed description. Outlook setup completed finally done.

[@scoobydingo4203]

Long story but I had to change my Outlook outgoing server settings to use my gmail account instead of my service provider. This video was very extremely helpful. Brilliant video - clear instructions, thank you very much!

[@memstechtips]

Thanks for sharing! Really glad the video could help you out!

[@sergiomora1209]

Almost all tutorials show the auto connect but you showed both auto connect and manual setup. Great job!

[@memstechtips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great to hear that you managed to set it up! I have to admit, it can be quite difficult if you don't do it often, so well done for managing to set it up. 😀

[@Angel-HC]

I've been having trouble getting my deleted emails in Outlook to delete from the Gmail server. Other email clients I've used didn't have this issue and it's a bit frustrating. This tutorial revealed some options in the Control Panel that might help me resolve this so I'll be trying them later when I get back to my desktop.

[@memstechtips]

How did it go? Did you manage to figure it out?

[@ElisabethPatel]

The best explanation out of all videos. Thank you

[@maxoschwald6246]

Thank you for your tutorial, but you forgot a CRUCIAL part of setting up the POP account: On the computer, open Gmail. In the top right, click Settings. See all settings. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. In the "POP download" section, select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on. At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes. In my case, my POP account was disabled for all emails, which caused a Password / Login error every time. That took me a long time to figure out!

[@memstechtips]

Thanks for this. You are right, it has to be enabled. I think I forgot to mention it because by default it is enabled, it will only be disabled if the user has gone and disabled it themselves sometime. I will make a video showing how to do it as well, thanks!

[@SSExiliado]

Thanks, it works.

[@mihailbozko]

Thank you!

[@user-rp7lz6ye4v]

Thank you for such a helpful video. Sent and other folders are empty though. is there a way to sync those?

[@memstechtips]

Pleasure! Just make sure that you expand the "Gmail folder" in Outlook because there are separate folders under it. If that doesn't work, go into the advanced settings again like I show at 6:35 and there should be a setting that says "save copies of sent items" if you set it up as IMAP. If you set it up as POP3, the folders and sent items will be empty as it's not a sync like IMAP, but any email you send out of Outlook wil be displayed in the Sent Items, but it won't be displayed on the sent box in Gmail online. If you want it to be like that, then you must set it up as IMAP.

[@mbopstropsnosky]

Looks like POP3 is better. However what if we setup POP3 on computer and on phone. We would receive same message and we would need to mark as read same message on both devices?

[@memstechtips]

Yes that's correct, unless you disable the setting to "leave a copy of message on server" on both devices, that way, whichever devices downloads the mail first will have the mail, but the other device will never receive it.

[@nabanitapatnaik3093]

followed all your steps to add GMAIL acct as POP3 but still cannot send emails after adding it in outlook 2016 client.

[@memstechtips]

Just make sure that you are using the exact same settings as I show from 06:00 in the video. The outgoing authentication must be on and on the next tab, if port 465 and SSL is not working, you can also use port 25 with STARTTLS. If it's still not working, let me know what the error is that Outlook is displaying when you test the account settings.

[@sergiomora1209]

Hi, in the past GWSMO was needed to sync Gmail with Outlook. Is that tool no longer needed? I currently use Outlook 2019.

[@memstechtips]

I see that's used for Google Workspace accounts, this tutorial is only for the normal personal Gmail account. You might still need it for the workspace account but I'm not sure.

[@gina4008]

Thanks for your EXCELLENT tutorial. I successfully set up my Gmail in both the IMAP and the POP3 in Outlook. I think the POP3 canceled out the IMAP. Should I have only set up one or the other - IMAP or POP3? Or can I have both in Outlook?

[@memstechtips]

Glad it helped! You can set up both of them, but it would be better to either use POP3 or IMAP.

[@persemi617]

Hello, thank you for the wonderful information. I have a question Should I activate IMAP, POP3 on Gmail?

[@memstechtips]

Pleasure! Personally I like POP3, but if you want your Outlook emails and Calendar to constantly sync and reflect with the online version of Gmail, then IMAP is what you should use.

[@persemi617]

It was done successfully thank you very much@@memstechtips

How to ensure that if we delete a mail from gmail the same does not get deleted from ourltlook

[@memstechtips]

If you have it set up as POP3 and you delete a mail from Gmail, it will still be in your Outlook. If you set it up as IMAP, you will need to create an archive folder for your emails in Outlook and only once they are archived you can delete it from Gmail.

I'm sorry but I don't know how you will be able to send it from multiple ID's.

Do you know how to setup pst file

[@sujitkmishra7942]

great

[@glycomcdonald]

Is there a way to set this up without turning on two step verification?

[@memstechtips]

If you set it up as IMAP I don't think you need 2-Step Verification. But if you want to use POP3, I haven't found another way to do it, you need 2-Step Verification in that case.

Awesome! For interests sake, how do you like Florida and what is the monthly cost of living for you there? You know, if I want to move sometime lmao.

[@russgordon262]

@@memstechtips Way more expensive than Florida in Gauteng! The COL everywhere right now is mal but having been out of SA for so long, I cannot compare to your sitution. There are many Saffers living in Florida, a lot in the boating sector, working on luxury yachts for moerse rich people. Still plenty of opportunity here in the USA and no load shedding (yet). My parents used to own a holiday flat in Muizenburg from 1958 to 1970, cor.

how can I have gmail delete any email that I delete in outlook? I wish to mange my gmail acoount from my outlook account. Thanks

[@memstechtips]

If it's set up as IMAP then it will delete from Gmail when deleted from Outlook.

[@fahadkaithal2503]

can i get all the emails in sent items also if connected pop3

[@memstechtips]

The sent items will only be displayed in Outlook, it won't be synced to Gmail Online. Also, any sent items you already have on Gmail Online, won't appear in Outlook.

[@ezequiel5820]

Sadly your emails on Gmail will remain unread, wish they could be automatically marked as read once you view them on outlook

[@memstechtips]

If you use the POP3 setup yes, if you set it up as IMAP it will be unread on the Gmail server as well.

But i am unable to send / receive emails 😞

When you setup the email and you do the test, is it successful?

After configuring this same setting, its asking me password again and again. not able to send email using these services. Can you please help @memstechtips

I'm not sure why that might be, are you sure you're using an App Password like I show in the video?
