How To Configure Gmail Account in outlook || Set Up Outlook For Gmail

Configuring a Gmail account in Outlook is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

Enable IMAP in Gmail:

Log in to your Gmail account.
Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner, then select "See all settings."
Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
Under the "IMAP access" section, select "Enable IMAP."
Scroll down and click "Save Changes."
Open Outlook:

Launch Microsoft Outlook on your computer.
Add Account:

Click on "File" in the top-left corner.
Choose "Add Account" or "Add Email Account," depending on your Outlook version.
Enter Your Account Information:

Enter your full name and the email address you want to configure (your Gmail address).
Click on "Advanced options" and make sure "Let me set up my account manually" is selected.
Choose Account Type:

Select "IMAP" or "POP and IMAP" as the account type. IMAP is generally preferred because it syncs your emails with the server, while POP3 simply downloads them to your device.
Enter Server Settings:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.gmail.com
Username: Your full Gmail address
Password: Your Gmail password
Port Numbers: For IMAP, use port 993. For SMTP, use port 465 or 587.
Encryption Method: SSL/TLS
Authenticate:

Outlook may prompt you to allow it to access your Gmail account. Follow the prompts to authenticate the connection.
Complete Setup:

Once Outlook verifies your settings, click "Done" or "Finish" to complete the setup process.
Additional Steps:

After adding your account, you may want to customize additional settings such as sync frequency, folders to sync, etc., according to your preferences.
After completing these steps, Outlook should be configured to send and receive emails from your Gmail account. Make sure to periodically check your Gmail settings and Outlook configuration for any updates or changes.
