Set up Gmail emails: POP, IMAP and SMTP Settings

Updated: Dec 9, 2022

POP, IMAP and SMTP Settings for Gmail

To manually set up email clients that don't support Gmail, you'll need to find your server settings. Use your Port number (IMAP or POP) for incoming mail and your SMTP for outgoing mail. Use IMAP if you have a choice, since it offers better email synchronization across devices and accounts.

POP Settings
 
Server name: pop.gmail.com

Requires SSL: Yes

Port: 995

IMAP Settings
 
Server name: imap.gmail.com

Requires SSL: Yes

Port: 993

SMTP Settings
 
Server name: smtp.gmail.com

Requires SSL: Yes

Requires TLS: Yes (if available)

Requires Authentication: Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

You may need to enable POP or IMAP for your account in the Google Admin Centre. This is because IMAP / POP connections are now considered insecure. For more help, please contact us.
