3. Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
4. Enable IMAP by selecting the radio button next to "Enable IMAP."
5. Click "Save Changes."

6. Enter the IMAP server address as imap.gmail.com and the port as 993.
7. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup.

Common IMAP Settings

• Server address: imap.gmail.com (Gmail) or imap.outlook.com (Outlook)
• Port: 993 (SSL/TLS) or 143 (plain text)
• Username: Your email address
• Password: Your email password
• Authentication: Use the same authentication method as your email provider (e.g., OAuth, password)

Tips and Considerations

• Make sure IMAP is enabled on your email provider's server.
• Use the same username and password for IMAP as you do for POP or webmail.
• If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA), you may need to generate an app password or use an authentication app like Google Authenticator.
• IMAP can be slower than POP, as it retrieves email messages from the server instead of downloading them locally.
• If you're experiencing issues with IMAP, try checking your email provider's settings or contacting their support team for assistance.
