Lastly, while being logged in to your gmail account go to the following Google page and turn on Less secure app access:Īt this point, you are done configuring your Gmail side. Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on (you can also Enable POP for all mail), click Save Changes in the bottom:ģ. Log into your Gmail account and click on the gear in the top right corner and select Settings:Ģ. Here is how I configured my gmail account with Microsoft Outlook 2013 using POP protocol. Therefore, for my purpose I choose POP protocol. I prefer my e-mail to be downloaded from the e-mail server to the Outlook where I can re-arrange them into different folders. You can read a lot about why IMAP is better than POP, but it is not, and it all depends on how you like to use it. Aslo, after an email is delivered to your client (Outlook), you may delete that email in the webmail box, and it will still stay in the Outlook.
It means that any changes you make to your email account in the email client will not affect the webmail inbox. With POP protocol your email client account and email server are not synced. The main difference is that IMAP protocol always syncs with email server so that any changes you make in your email client (Microsoft Outlook) will instantly appear on your webmail inbox. There are two different email protocols - IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol). When you send an email from Outlook it will give you an option to select which account you are sending your email from: You will have multiple Inboxes visible in the left pane, and each incoming email will end up in the corresponding Inbox. You can have multilple accounts setup in MS Outlook and all your e-mails will come to a single Outlook application. I like to use Microsoft Outlook on my personal desktop for my business and personal e-mails.
