Google and Google Hosted POP, IMAP, and SMTP
Posted on April 29th, 2015 by roger
Setting up Google and Google hosted domains for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access is fairly straight forward — but you need to start with a session by sign on to Google Mail.
Once you sign in, you can go to the Mail Settings
From there, select Fowarding and POP/IMAP
Then you just enable either POP and/or IMAP and click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.
Once you’ve done that, just use one of the following links for step-by-step instructions for configuring your client.
