If you wish to use it in the old fashioned POP method of downloading emails to your computer, please setup you email client using the following parameters.
You may use the e-mail (POP) guide and substitute the POP and SMTP settings.
First
First you must enable IMAP in Google mail:-
- Sign into google webmail http://webmail.yourdomain.co.uk
- Click Settings at the top right of the Gmail page
- Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP
- Select Enable IMAP and press Save Changes. This is usually set as default.
Second
Please use the guides to the right to setup your email client.
Of all the email clients, Mozilla Thunderbird is probably the best as it has a very simple add-on application that you can download - which works with Windows, Linux and MAC's. Click Thunderbird for details.
If you wish to seup your mail client manually, or your mail client isn't listed in the menu, the basic settings are detailed below:-
| Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: |
imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993 |
| Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: |
smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587 |
| Account Name: |
your email address you@yourdomain.co.uk |
| Email Address: |
your email address you@yourdomain.co.uk |
| Password: |
your Gmail password as supplied by Coll Digital |
Please note that if your mail client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using Gmail.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
