IMAP settings for Google Workspace

IMAP settings for Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) are as follows:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server: imap.gmail.com
- Port: 993
- Requires SSL: Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.gmail.com
- Port: 465 or 587
- Requires TLS: Yes
- Requires authentication: Yes

Please note that Google doesn’t provide technical support for third-party IMAP clients. When configuring IMAP for a Google Workspace domain email on Outlook, you will need to use these IMAP settings to enable email client access to your Google Workspace account. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that IMAP access is enabled in the Google Admin console for your domain.
