  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.

  5. Enter your company email address (e.g., [name]@company.com) and password.
  6. Select "IMAP" as the account type.
  7. Enter the IMAP server settings you noted down earlier (server name, port number, and security settings).
