How can I add Gmail to MS-Outlook 2007?

Asked By vanessa andre 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/21/2011

I have Gmail Account but I’m still used on using Outlook 2007 as a desktop client for emailing.

I want to know how to add my Gmail to MS-Outlook.

I heard that Hotmail account can be added to this, but mine is Gmail so I want to learn how to use this feature.

If you know how, please send me guides on how to do this please.

Thanks.

How can I add Gmail to MS-Outlook 2007?

You can set your Gmail Account to Outlook very easily.

You can send and receive your E-mails from G-mail account in Outlook.

There are different ways to configure Gmail with Outlook.

First of all enable your IMAP.

To do this follow the instructions:

• Select Settings located at the top of the Gmail navigation bar.
• Go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
• Enable the IMAP in IMAP Access and click Save Changes.

On your Outlook menu, select Tools then Account Settings.

• Click New under E-mail tab.
• Type any name under your Name and enter Gmail address under Email Address.
• Now Check Manually configure server settings or additional server types and then click Next.
• Ensure that Internet E-mail is selected then click Next.
• Select IMAP in account type.
• Type imap.gmail.com under Incoming mail server
• Type smtp.gmail.com for outgoing mail server (SMTP)
• Enter your Gmail User name & password
• Click More Settings then go to Outgoing Server tab.
• Check the field my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
• Type 465 Server Port Numbers for Outgoing server (SMTP).
• Click OK then finishes the process.

Access Gmail via POP:

• First of all enable the POP.
• Open your Outlook 2007 then go to Tools Account Settings
• Under Account Settings choose the E-mail tab then click New
• Enter your Gmail account information and Click Next.

Note: Do not check “Manually configure server” settings.

Now your Outlook has successfully configured the server settings for your email click Finish.

On your Inbox click send /receive then you are done.
