This guide will show you how to set up an email account with POP3 and SMTP in Gmail.

Please note the following limitations before proceeding:

  • Gmail only allows you to set up your email using POP, not IMAP. In other words, emails are downloaded but not synced to the server.
  • Gmail only downloads emails from your inbox. Emails in other folders such as “Sent” and “Drafts” will not be downloaded.
  • By default, Gmail downloads emails and deletes them from its servers. We recommend enabling the option to leave a copy of your emails on the server. This will allow you to continue to access your email through webmail
