What is the gmail incoming mail server

The Gmail incoming mail server, also known as the POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) server, is used to retrieve emails from your Gmail account on a device or application.

Here are the Gmail incoming mail server settings:

POP3:

• Server: pop.gmail.com
• Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)

IMAP:

• Server: imap.gmail.com
• Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)

To set up your Gmail account on a device or application, you'll need to enter these server settings along with your Gmail username and password.

Here's a brief explanation of the settings:

• Server: This is the address of the Gmail server that your device or application will connect to in order to retrieve your emails.
• Port: This is the port number that your device or application will use to connect to the Gmail server. The port number is used to specify the protocol (SSL/TLS) that will be used for the connection.

Note that you may need to enable IMAP or POP3 access in your Gmail account settings before you can use these server settings. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
3. Select "See all settings."
4. Click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
5. Select the "Enable IMAP" or "Enable POP" option.
6. Click "Save Changes."

Once you've enabled IMAP or POP3 access, you can use the server settings above to set up your Gmail account on a device or application.
