• Click the  gear in the top right.
• Select Settings.

1. Select POP/IMAP Download
2. Select Enable IMAP.
3. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

1. Now open your Outlook 2007
2. Go to “Tools -> Account Settings…”



3. On the Email tab, click New and a new wizard window should appear.


4. Enter in your name, email address, and password twice then click Next.
Note: Enter your full email address in the ‘your name’ field.


5. Outlook will configure the email server settings, the amount of time it takes will vary.


6. Provided everything goes correctly, the configuration will be successful and you can begin using your account.
If the above instructions don’t work, then we’ll need to manually configure the settings. Again, go into Auto Account Setup and select Manually configure server settings or additional server types and clickNext.


7. Select Internet E-mail – Connect to POP or IMAP server to send and receive e-mail messages.
    
8. Now we need to manually enter in our settings similar to the following. Under the Server Information section, verify the following.
   
   • Account Type: IMAP
   • Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
   • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
   
   Note: Enter full email address (user@sify.com) in the Your Name and User Name fields.
9. Next, we need to click on the More Settings button…
    
10. In the Internet E-mail Settings screen that pops up, click on the Outgoing Server tab, and check the box next to My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Also select the radio button next to Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
     
11. In the same window click on the Advanced tab and verify the following.
    
    • Incoming server: 993
    • Incoming server encrypted connection: SSL
    • Outgoing server encrypted connection TLS
    • Outgoing server: 587
    Note: You will need to change the Outgoing server encrypted connection first; otherwise it will default back to port 25. Also, if TLS doesn’t work, we were able to successfully use Auto. 
    
12. Click OK. Select Next in the appearing window and then select Finish
