How to get gmail emails on opera mail client

To get Gmail emails on Opera Mail client, you'll need to set up an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

1. Make sure you have a Gmail account and that IMAP is enabled. To do this, go to your Gmail settings, click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, and select "Enable IMAP."
2. Ensure that your Opera Mail client is updated to the latest version.

Setting up Gmail on Opera Mail:

1. Open Opera Mail and go to "Settings" (or press Ctrl + Shift + S).
2. Click on "Accounts" and then "Add new account."
3. Select "IMAP" as the account type.
4. Enter your Gmail address and password.
5. In the "Incoming mail server" field, enter imap.gmail.com.
6. In the "Outgoing mail server" field, enter smtp.gmail.com.
7. Leave the "Port" fields as they are (993 for IMAP and 587 for SMTP).
8. Check the box next to "Use secure connection (SSL/TLS)" for both incoming and outgoing servers.
9. Click "Add account" to save the settings.

Configuring additional settings:

1. Go back to the "Accounts" page and select your Gmail account.
2. Click on the "Edit" button next to "IMAP settings."
3. In the "IMAP settings" window, make sure the "Use SSL/TLS" option is selected.
4. Set the "IMAP folder" to the desired location (e.g., "Inbox," "Sent," etc.).
5. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Syncing your Gmail account:

1. Go back to the "Accounts" page and select your Gmail account.
2. Click on the "Sync" button to start syncing your Gmail account with Opera Mail.

Tips and considerations:

• Make sure you have enabled IMAP in your Gmail settings, as mentioned earlier.
• If you're using a Gmail account with 2-Step Verification, you may need to generate an App Password and use it instead of your regular password.
• Opera Mail may not support all Gmail features, such as labels or filters.
• You can also use the "Check for new messages" feature in Opera Mail to periodically check for new emails in your Gmail account.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up your Gmail account on Opera Mail and start receiving your emails.
