Add outlook account to my google mail account

You want to connect your Outlook account to your Google Mail account. This is possible through a feature called "IMAP" (Internet Message Access Protocol) or "POP" (Post Office Protocol). Here's a step-by-step guide to help you add your Outlook account to your Google Mail account:

Method 1: Using IMAP

  1. Enable IMAP in Outlook: Go to your Outlook account settings (e.g., Outlook.com or Outlook 365) and enable IMAP. You can usually find this setting under "Settings" or "Options" > "Advanced" > "IMAP".
  2. Create an app password in Outlook: Go to your Outlook account settings and create an app password. This will generate a unique password for your Outlook account that you'll use to connect to your Google Mail account.
  3. Add Outlook account to Google Mail:
    • Log in to your Google Mail account.
    • Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "See all settings".
    • Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
    • Click on "Add a mail account" and select "Other mail provider".
    • Enter your Outlook email address and the app password you created in step 2.
    • Select "IMAP" as the protocol and enter the following settings:
      • Server: outlook.office365.com (or outlook.com if you're using a non-Office 365 Outlook account)
      • Port: 993
      • Username: your Outlook email address
      • Password: the app password you created in step 2
    • Click "Add account" to complete the setup.

Method 2: Using POP

  1. Enable POP in Outlook: Go to your Outlook account settings and enable POP. You can usually find this setting under "Settings" or "Options" > "Advanced" > "POP".
  2. Create an app password in Outlook: Go to your Outlook account settings and create an app password. This will generate a unique password for your Outlook account that you'll use to connect to your Google Mail account.
  3. Add Outlook account to Google Mail:
    • Log in to your Google Mail account.
    • Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "See all settings".
    • Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
    • Click on "Add a mail account" and select "Other mail provider".
    • Enter your Outlook email address and the app password you created in step 2.
    • Select "POP" as the protocol and enter the following settings:
      • Server: outlook.office365.com (or outlook.com if you're using a non-Office 365 Outlook account)
      • Port: 995
      • Username: your Outlook email address
      • Password: the app password you created in step 2

After setting up your Outlook account in Google Mail, you should be able to access your Outlook emails, contacts, and calendar events in your Google Mail account.
