Gmail – Configure Outlook for Windows
You may need to enable IMAP for your account prior to configuration of your email client (https://mail.google.com). To do this:
- From the Gmail web client, click Settings from the cog menu.
- In the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, click Enable IMAP.
- Click Save Changes.
Step 2 Click Manual setup or additional server types and click Next.
Step 3 Select POP or IMAP (or Internet Email for Outlook 2010) and click Next.
Step 4 In the User Information section, enter:
- Your name: (desired display name)
- Email address: username@yourdomain.com
Step 5
Enter the following for your server settings:
- Account Type: IMAP
- Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Step 6
Enter the following for Logon Information:
- User name: username@yourdomain.com
- Password: IdentiKey password
- Then click More Settings…
Step 7
Click the Outgoing Server tab and check the box next to My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication, then click the Advanced tab.
Step 8
Adjust the server settings to the following:
- Incoming Server (IMAP): 993 SSL
- Outgoing server (SMTP): 587 TLS
Click OK to save.
*Note: If you are experiencing issues connecting with port 587 for Outgoing server (SMTP), try changing this to port 25.
Step 9
Click Next.
Step 10
Outlook will test your account settings. If it completes successfully, click Close.
*Note: If it does not complete successfully, review this document and check your account settings again.

Some users may need to change their app security settings when using non-google and android email programs. While signed into your Gmail account in a browser, open the Google Apps menu, then select My Account.
*Note: You should try to connect your account without changing these settings and change only if the previous steps don’t work.
Step 13
In the Sign-in & Security section, select Connected apps & sites.
Step 14
Scroll down to the Allow less secure apps section and change the setting to On. You should now be able to connect your account to an email client.
