Are you looking to add a Gmail account to Outlook, but aren’t sure how to do so? This article will walk you through a few simple steps to help you access your Gmail account through Outlook!

Instructions

  1. Open the Gmail account that you wish to add to Outlook at www.google.com/gmail. Click the gear icon in the top-right and click See all settings.

  2. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and ensure that “IMAP” is enabled.

  3. In Outlook, click File and then click Add Account. Click Advanced Options and enable Let me set up my account manually.

  4. Enter your email, click Connect and then select IMAP.

  5. Enter your Gmail address, click Next. Enter your password and then click Allow. Your Gmail account should now be added to Outlook.

 

 

If the above steps do not work, you may need to allow Outlook to access your Gmail account. To do this, you can use two-factor authentication for your Google Account which you can set up here.

Please try enabling two-factor authentication and retrying the above steps. If they still do not work, please submit a ticket to Technical Services.
