How To Enable IMAP Access in Gmail

Enabling IMAP is also very simple in Gmail and can be found in the same area where we enabled POP, in the settings!

If you still cannot find it, here is how-to:

1. Open: Gmail


2. Click on: Settings


3. Click on: Forwarding and POP/IMAP


4. Select: Enable IMAP


5. Click: Save Changes

Done! Now go add your IMAP settings to your IMAP client and enjoy accessing your email with IMAP.

If you need recommended IMAP settings for specific Mail Clients or Wireless Devices, they can be found at the Supported IMAP client list.
