What are google mail server settings

Google Mail (Gmail) uses the following mail server settings:

Incoming (POP3/IMAP) Settings:

• Server: pop.gmail.com (POP3) or imap.gmail.com (IMAP)
• Port: 995 (POP3) or 993 (IMAP)
• Encryption: SSL/TLS
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [your_email_address]@gmail.com)
• Password: Your Gmail password

Outgoing (SMTP) Settings:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587
• Encryption: TLS
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [your_email_address]@gmail.com)
• Password: Your Gmail password

Additional Settings:

• Authentication: Use the same username and password as your Gmail account.
• Authentication method: PLAIN or XOAUTH2 (depending on your email client or device)
• Require SSL/TLS: Yes

Notes:

• If you're using 2-Step Verification (2SV) with your Gmail account, you'll need to generate an App Password to use with your email client or device.
• If you're using a third-party email client or device, you may need to configure additional settings, such as the "Use secure password" or "Use SSL/TLS" options.
• Google recommends using IMAP instead of POP3 for retrieving email, as IMAP allows for two-way synchronization and keeps your email folders in sync across devices.

Here are some examples of how to configure Gmail's mail server settings in popular email clients:

• Microsoft Outlook: Settings
• Mozilla Thunderbird: Settings
• Apple Mail: Settings
• Android Email App: Settings
• iOS Mail App: Settings

Remember to replace [your_email_address] with your actual Gmail address.
