可以说，两个最成功和最流行的电子邮件程序Gmail和Outlook通常被视为完全独立的。Gmail最初主要服务于个人电子邮件，而Outlook主要服务于企业。但Gmail 和 Outlook^{(Gmail and Outlook)}可以结合在一起。让我们看看如何通过在Outlook中设置^(Outlook)Gmail IMAP设置来做到这一点。

为什么在 Gmail 中使用 IMAP 而不是 POP？^{(Why Use IMAP in Gmail Instead Of POP?)}

如果您了解IMAP 和 POP 电子邮件协议之间的详细区别^{(the detailed differences between IMAP and POP email )}，您可能已经有了答案。对于我们其他人，这里是对两者的简要介绍。 

IMAP（互联网消息访问协议^{(Internet Message Access Protocol)}）直接在托管它的服务器上处理电子邮件。对于Gmail IMAP设置，这是 Google 的Gmail服务器。POP（邮局协议^{(Post Office Protocol)}）下载电子邮件以驻留在您的设备上，您可以在本地使用它。一旦电子邮件在您的设备上，它就不再在服务器上。

如果您有多个设备用于访问电子邮件，例如 iPhone 或 Android^{(accessing email, like iPhone or Android)}，您不希望所有电子邮件都在一台设备上。无论走到哪里，您都想随身携带。这就是为什么IMAP比POP被更多地使用。这也是为什么我们将向您展示如何在Outlook中设置^(Outlook)Gmail IMAP设置而不用担心POP设置。

启用 Gmail 以使用 IMAP^{(Enable Gmail to Use IMAP)}

为此，必须在您的Gmail帐户 中启用IMAP 。

1. 登录^(Log)到您的Gmail帐户，然后单击右上角的“设置”^{(Settings )}图标。它看起来像一个齿轮。快速设置^{(Quick Settings )}工具栏将打开。

1. 点击查看所有设置^{(See all settings)}。

1. 在设置^{(Settings )}屏幕中，单击Forwarding and POP/IMAP 选项卡。

1. 向下滚动到IMAP 访问：^{(IMAP access:)}部分并选择启用 IMAP^{(Enable IMAP)}。

1. 滚动到底部，然后单击右下角的保存更改^{(Save Changes )}按钮。

如何在 Outlook 桌面应用程序中设置 Gmail IMAP 设置^{(How To Set Up Gmail IMAP Settings In The Outlook Desktop App)}

过去很难将Microsoft Exchange 电子邮件帐户^{(Microsoft Exchange email accounts)}以外的任何内容添加到Outlook中。您必须查找不同的服务器设置并手动输入它们。在最新的Outlook中，它要简单得多。

1. 打开Outlook。如果这是您第一次打开Outlook ，请跳到第 4 步。如果您要将Gmail帐户添加为Outlook中的第二个帐户，请继续。
2. 单击左上角的文件选项卡。^{(File )}

1. 在帐户信息^{(Account Information )}页面上，单击添加帐户^{(Add Account)}。

1. Outlook将要求您设置电子邮件地址。输入您的Gmail地址并点击连接^(Connect)。

1. 它现在会询问您的Gmail密码。输入它并单击登录^{(Sign in)}。

1. 下一个窗口将告诉您Outlook如何访问您的Gmail和Google帐户。如果您同意这一点，请单击允许^(Allow)。

1. 焦点将移回Outlook窗口，显示您的Gmail IMAP帐户已成功添加。单击^(Click)完成^{(Done )}以完成。 

1. 转到Outlook并确保它填充了您的Gmail帐户。

抱歉，我们无法让您登录 Google – IMAP^{(Sorry, We Could Not Sign You Into Google – IMAP)}

尽管上面的说明应该自动且完美地工作，但有时它们不会。您可能会收到错误消息“抱歉，我们无法让您登录 Google – IMAP”。这时我们需要深入了解Outlook中的^(Outlook)Gmail IMAP设置。

1. 在 Outlook 中，单击左上角的文件选项卡。^{(File )}

1. 在帐户信息中，单击帐户设置^{(Account Settings)}，然后单击服务器设置^{(Server Settings)}。

1. IMAP 帐户设置^{(IMAP Account Settings )}窗口将打开，显示传入邮件^{(Incoming mail)}设置。检查以确保设置与以下内容匹配：
   
   用户名：^{(User name:)}您的 Gmail 地址
   服务器：^(Server:) imap.gmail.com
   端口：^(Port:) 993
   加密方法：^{(Encryption method:)} SSL/TLS
   需要使用安全密码验证 (SPA) 登录：^{(Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA):)}未选中
   
   这在下面突出显示，因为它是连接不工作的最可能原因。

1. 展开外发邮件^{(Outgoing mail)}部分并确保设置与以下内容匹配，然后单击下一步^(Next)：
   
   服务器：^(Server:) smtp.gmail.com
   端口：^(Port:) 465
   加密方法：^{(Encryption method: )} SSL/TLS
   服务器超时：^{(Server timeouts: )}默认值通常很好。如果您遇到超时，请将其进一步向右滑动。
   要求使用安全密码验证 (SPA) 登录：^{(Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): )}未选中
   
   这在下面突出显示，因为它最有可能导致连接不工作。
   
   我的传出 (SMTP) 服务器需要身份验证^{(My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication)}：选中，然后选择使用与传入服务器相同的设置。^{(Use same settings as my incoming server.)}

1. 将短暂显示一个更新窗口。

1. 将从Google中打开一个新窗口。它应该预先填写您的电子邮件地址。确保^(Make)它是正确的，然后单击Next。

1. 在打开的窗口中：
   1. 输入您的 Gmail 密码。
   2. 确保选中保持登录^{(Stay signed in)}框。
   3. 单击登录^{(Sign in)}以继续。

1. 如果您在 Gmail 上设置了双因素身份验证 (2FA)，并且您应该这样做，Google会要求您通过第二种方法进行验证。如果您想在每次使用Outlook for Gmail时都使用 2FA，请取消选中在此计算机上不再询问^{(Don’t ask again on this computer)}。否则，请保持选中状态。

1. 如果一切顺利，您将看到帐户成功更新^{(Account successfully updated )}窗口。单击完成^{(Done )}以完成。

Gmail IMAP 现已在 Outlook 中设置^{(Gmail IMAP Is Now Set Up In Outlook)}

这里的所有都是它的。调整Gmail IMAP设置的整个过程将花费不到 5 分钟的时间，无论是自动添加帐户方法还是通过服务器设置。我们希望这篇文章对您有所帮助。

How To Set Up Gmail IMAP Settings In Outlook

Arguably the two most ѕuccessful and populаr e-mail programs Gmail and Outlook are often treated as completely separate. Gmail started as serving mostly personal e-mail while Outlook served mostly businesses. But Gmail and Outlook can come together. Let’s look at how to do that by setting up Gmail IMAP settings in Outlook.

Why Use IMAP in Gmail Instead Of POP?

If you understand the detailed differences between IMAP and POP email protocols, you probably already have your answer. For the rest of us, here’s an abbreviated look at the two. 

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) deals with email directly on the server hosting it. In the case of Gmail IMAP settings, that’s Google’s Gmail servers. POP (Post Office Protocol) downloads the email to reside on your device and you work with it locally. Once the email is on your device, it’s not on the server anymore.

If you have several devices for accessing email, like iPhone or Android, you don’t want all your email on just one device. You want to take it with you wherever you go. That’s why IMAP is being used more than POP. That’s also why we’re going to show you how to set up Gmail IMAP settings in Outlook and not worry about POP settings.

Enable Gmail to Use IMAP

For this to work, IMAP has to be enabled in your Gmail account. 

1. Log in to your Gmail account and click on the Settings icon in the top-right corner. It looks like a gear. The Quick Settings toolbar will open.

1. Click on See all settings.

1. In the Settings screen, click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

1. Scroll down to the IMAP access: section and select Enable IMAP.

1. Scroll to the bottom and click on the Save Changes button in the bottom-right corner.

How To Set Up Gmail IMAP Settings In The Outlook Desktop App

It used to be difficult to add anything but Microsoft Exchange email accounts to Outlook. You had to look up different server settings and enter them manually. In the newest Outlook, it’s much simpler.

1. Open Outlook. If this is your first time opening Outlook skip to step 4. If you’re adding your Gmail account as a second account in Outlook, carry on.
2. Click on the File tab in the top-left corner.

1. On the Account Information page, click on Add Account.

1. Outlook will ask you for an email address to set up. Enter your Gmail address and click on Connect.

1. It will now ask for your Gmail password. Enter it and click Sign in.

1. The next window tells you how Outlook will access your Gmail and Google accounts. If you agree with this, click Allow.

1. The focus will shift back to the Outlook window, showing that your Gmail IMAP account was successfully added. Click on Done to finish. 

1. Go to Outlook and make sure it’s populating with your Gmail account.

Sorry, We Could Not Sign You Into Google – IMAP

Although the instructions above should work automatically and flawlessly, sometimes they don’t. You may get the error message, “Sorry, We Could Not Sign You Into Google – IMAP”. That’s when we need to dig into the Gmail IMAP settings in Outlook.

1. In Outlook, click on the File tab in the top-left corner.

1. In Account Information, click on Account Settings, and then Server Settings.

1. The IMAP Account Settings window will open, showing the Incoming mail settings. Check to make sure the settings match the following:
   
   User name: your Gmail address
   Server: imap.gmail.com
   Port: 993
   Encryption method: SSL/TLS
   Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): Unchecked
   
   This is highlighted below because it is the most likely cause of the connection not working.

1. Expand the Outgoing mail section and ensure the settings match the following, and then click Next:
   
   Server: smtp.gmail.com
   Port: 465
   Encryption method: SSL/TLS
   Server timeouts: Default is usually fine. If you’re experiencing timeouts, slide it further to the right.
   Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): Unchecked
   
   This is highlighted below because it is the most likely cause of the connection not working.
   
   My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication: Checked, and select Use same settings as my incoming server.

1. An updating window will show, briefly.

1. A new window will open from Google. It should be pre-filled with your e-mail address. Make sure it’s correct and click Next.

1. In the window that opens:
   1. Enter your Gmail password.
   2. Ensure the Stay signed in box is checked.
   3. Click Sign in to continue.

1. If you have Two Factor Authentication (2FA) set up on Gmail, and you should, Google will ask you to verify through that second method. If you want to use 2FA every time you use Outlook for Gmail, uncheck the Don’t ask again on this computer. Otherwise, leave it checked.

1. If all went well, you’ll see the Account successfully updated window. Click on Done to finish.

Gmail IMAP Is Now Set Up In Outlook

That’s all there is to it. The whole process to tweak your Gmail IMAP settings will take less than 5 minutes, whether it’s the automatic account addition method or going through the server settings. We hope this article has helped you.
