How to download/POP your Gmail to Microsoft Outlook or other Email Clients

Enabling POP for Gmail 

20You can read your Gmail messages from a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook.

Step 1: Enable POP in Gmail

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. At the top right, click Settings .
3. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
4. Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
5. Choose what to do with your messages after your POP client or device receives them. We recommend the first option, keeping Gmail’s copy in the inbox.
6. Click Save Changes.

Although the radio button next to your selected option may not stay selected, Gmail displays the status next to 'POP Status:.' When you enable POP, your settings display 'POP Status: POP is enabled.'

If your POP settings are turned off, the status will indicate that POP is disabled.

Once you've enabled POP in your Gmail settings, you need to configure your client.

Step 2: Configure client

Go to your client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook) and make sure these settings are correct.

Incoming Mail (POP) Server:	pop.gmail.com Requires SSL: Yes Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server:	smtp.gmail.com Requires SSL: Yes Requires TLS: Yes (if available) Requires Authentication: Yes Port for SSL: 465 Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Server timeouts	Greater than 1 minute, we recommend 5
Full Name or Display Name:	[your name]
Account Name or User Name:	your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address:	your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Password:	your Gmail password

Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server. Your POP settings in Gmail determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so changing the setting in the client won't make a difference.

How to read/IMAP your Gmail to Microsoft Outlook or other Email Clients

Enabling IMAP for Gmail

You can download messages from Gmail and see them using a program like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird, even when you aren't online. This process is called POP or IMAP, and is free for all Gmail users.

Tip: We recommend using IMAP if possible because it’s the best way to make sure you can see all your mail at any time on all of your devices. If you'd like to use POP instead, learn how to enable POP.

Step 1: Enable IMAP

You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports IMAP, like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail.

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click the gear in the top right .
3. Select Settings.
4. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
5. Select Enable IMAP.
6. Click Save Changes.

Note: This setting is not available while using the basic HTML view of Gmail. To enable IMAP, use the standard view instead. Find out more about standard view and basic HTML view.

Step 2: Set up your client

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server:	imap.gmail.com Requires SSL: Yes Port: 993 or 143 (very infrequently 585 (SSL))
