You can also use Microsoft Outlook to send and receive gmail as well.

Below are the steps.

Setting up Gmail in Outlook

If you use Outlook to check and manage your email, you can easily use it to
check your Gmail account as well. 

You can set up your Gmail account to allow you to synchronize email across
multiple machines using email clients instead of a browser.

We will show you how to use IMAP in your Gmail account so you can
synchronize your Gmail account across multiple machines, and then how to add
your Gmail account to Outlook 2010, 2013, or 2016.

Set Up Your Gmail Account to Use IMAP

To setup your Gmail account to use IMAP, sign in to your Gmail account and
go to Mail.

Click the Settings button in the upper, right corner of the window and
select Settings from the drop-down menu.

On the Settings screen, click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

Scroll down to the IMAP Access section and select Enable IMAP.
Add Your Gmail Account to Outlook
Close your browser and open Outlook. To begin adding your Gmail account,
click the File tab.

On the Account Information screen, click Add Account.

On the Add Account dialog box, you can choose the E-mail Account option
which automatically sets up your Gmail account in Outlook. To do this, enter
your name, email address, and the password for your Gmail account twice.
Click Next. (If you are using two-factor authentication, you'll need to get
an "app password" from this page.)

The progress of the setup displays. The automatic process may or may not
work.

If the automatic process fails, select Manual setup or additional server
types, instead of E-mail Account, and click Next.

On the Choose Service screen, select POP or IMAP and click Next.

On the POP and IMAP Account Settings enter the User, Server, and Logon
Information. For the Server Information, select IMAP from the Account Type
drop-down list and enter the following for the incoming and outgoing server
information:
.	Incoming mail server: imap.googlemail.com
.	Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.googlemail.com
Make sure you enter your full email address for the User Name and select
Remember password if you want Outlook to automatically log you in when
checking email. Click More Settings.

On the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box, click the Outgoing Server tab.
Select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and make sure
the Use same settings as my incoming mail server option is selected.

While still in the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box, click the Advanced
tab. Enter the following information:
.	Incoming server: 993
.	Incoming server encrypted connection: SSL
.	Outgoing server encrypted connection TLS
.	Outgoing server: 587
NOTE: You need to select the type of encrypted connection for the outgoing
server before entering 587 for the Outgoing server (SMTP) port number. If
you enter the port number first, the port number will revert back to port 25
when you change the type of encrypted connection.
Click OK to accept your changes and close the Internet E-mail Settings
dialog box.

Click Next.

Outlook tests the accounts settings by logging into the incoming mail server
and sending a test email message. When the test is finished, click Close.

You should see a screen saying "You're all set!". Click Finish.

Your Gmail address displays in the account list on the left with any other
email addresses you have added to Outlook. Click the Inbox to see what's in
your Inbox in your Gmail account.

Because you're using IMAP in your Gmail account and you used IMAP to add the
account to Outlook, the messages and folders in Outlook reflect what's in
your Gmail account. Any changes you make to folders and any time you move
email messages among folders in Outlook, the same changes are made in your
Gmail account, as you will see when you log into your Gmail account in a
browser. This works the other way as well. Any changes you make to the
structure of your account (folders, etc.) in a browser will be reflected the
next time you log into your Gmail account in Outlook.

I hope that the information helps listed above.

I have had users get email using the Windows 10 mail app. It works fine once
it is hooked up. I have occasionally had difficulty getting gmail to work
with the app. It seems that most of our clients are using gmail so that can
be a hassle.

Hi all,
Are any of you using Windows Mail to teach email? I'd love to hear the good,
the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks for any help you can give.
