Configure Microsoft Outlook For Gmail – Manual Settings

by

Configure Microsoft Outlook For Gmail – Manual Settings is easy with the auto-configure method. However, you need to set up Gmail to allow you to download mail as POP or to map folders and emails using IMAP. Here are the steps to configure MS Outlook for Gmail.

There is no need to configure the server address and the port manually for Gmail in Microsoft Outlook. The settings will automatically switch to the default Google settings, and you will not be able to access your Google account in the usual way.
