Or if you wish to use POP3, click on “Enable POP for all mail” and select “keep Gmail’s copy in the inbox” in the dropdown for “When messages are accessed with POP”.Click on Settings and then “Forwarding and POP/IMAP”.Your Gmail account comes with free POP3 and IMAP access. If your email provider supports IMAP, I would suggest using it over POP3. IMAP is younger and more sophisticated it will give you read/write access to your Inbox and other folders. POP3 is the older and much simpler protocol it will only give you download access to the Inbox folder. IMAP and POP3 are different protocols for retrieving email. As a result, I had to re-create my Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts. In the previous post, I found that restoring Outlook’s PST file did not restore the email support (email account) settings.

I have included screen-shots of the “More Settings…” dialog from both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 for your reference. Update: The instructions below are specific to Outlook 2003, but will work for Outlook 2007 with minor differences, all in the “More Settings…” dialog specifically, the SSL enable check-box in 2003 becomes a drop-down selection in 2007. Yahoo IMAP uses the same port 993 and SSL authentication settings as Gmail IMAP does. Update 2: Yahoo Mail now supports IMAP for all accounts whereas, POP3 access required Mail Plus accounts.
