Additional Tips

• Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using POP3 or IMAP.
• If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your Gmail account, you may need to generate an App Password to use with your email client.
• You can also use Gmail's built-in settings to sync your email with other Google services, such as Google Calendar and Google Drive.

By following these steps, you should be able to sync your email with Gmail using IMAP or POP3.
