You may use the e-mail (POP) guide and substitute the POP and SMTP settings.

- Sign into google webmail http://webmail.
- Click Settings at the top right of the Gmail page
- Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP
- Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
- Choose the action you'd like your Gmail messages to take after they are accessed with POP.
