Google Adds IMAP Support to GMail

GMail has gained IMAP support, one of the most requested features for Google's web-based e-mail service. If you log into your GMail account and head to "settings", the tab for "Forwarding and POP" should now read "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." If it doesn’t, be patient, Google will be rolling out the new IMAP features across the service over the next few days. With IMAP you can access your mail via your desktop client, read mail, make changes and have those changes mirrored by any other client accessing the account. If you access your mail from multiple machines, IMAP allows them all to stay in sync. To enable IMAP in GMail just head to the settings page and change your access from POP to IMAP.

Gmail IMAP on Outlook 2019

I have. And they don't work. The closest I get is to create the account on OL and end up with with a message from OL that it can't connect to IMAP.

From the link you provided (which I have seen before posting this thread), from step 2 it sends me to server settings, it does not go directly to the Gmail password entry indicated in step 3. I'm not the only one with this issue: there are many threads on other web sites with users experiencing the same problem.

 

Outlook 2016 IMAP persists in failing to connect with Gmail

Thank you for the response. I have already disabled POP and enabled IMAP from my Gmail account.

In regards to creating an App Password, good suggestion. But I'm unable to create one (!). The instructions from Google says to:

1. Visit your App passwords page. You may be asked to sign in to your Google Account.
2. At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.
3. Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.
4. ....etc.

But, once in the "App passwords" page, I do not see "Select app" (!).

Any advice?
