If your organization uses a Google Apps account to handle email, and you’re an Outlook 2013 user, it makes sense to configure that account to send and receive email through Microsoft’s email client.
That way, it’s much easier to never miss an important email and reply to it as soon as it arrives.
Configuring Outlook 2013 to work with your Google Apps email account shouldn’t be too difficult, as long as you follow the steps below correctly.
We use Google Apps at Guiding Tech, so I’ll use my GT email account to show you how.
Email Google Apps in Outlook 2013
Step 1: Start Outlook 2013 and click Document in the top menu of the Microsoft email client.
Step 2: Make sure Information selected in the menu on the right side of your Outlook 2013 window (not the Option you used when AutoComplete was enabled).
Step 3: Let’s start configuring your account. To start doing this, click the . button More account button.
Step 4: I probably don’t need to mention this, but I’ll mention it anyway: the next step requires you to have your Google Apps email account username and password. You will need them for it.
Set the configuration procedure to Manual setup or additional server types and then click Next button.
Step 5: Select POP or IMAP in the window that appears, then click Next to proceed to the next step.
Step 6: This is the fun part, the part where you fill in all the necessary settings. Don’t worry, if you get it right, this is the last time you’ll have to take a look (for this email account at least).
Start by setting the email account to IMAP, below server information, like I did in the screenshot you are seeing below.
Step 7: Next we proceed to the remaining settings. Enter your full name and email address first.
Then under Incoming mail serverenter imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com below Outgoing mail server (SMTP).
Below account namePlease enter your full email address, then enter your password in the following field.
Step 8: Before you continue, click Other settings button at the bottom right of the window.
Step 9: A new window will appear. Click Outgoing mail server navigation; then, mark My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and choose Use the same settings as my incoming mail server.
Step 10: Switch to High level navigation.
Change the Incoming Mail server port to 993 and the Outgoing Mail server port to 465 or 587.
Then set the encrypted connection type to SSL for IMAP and TLS for SMTP, like I did below.
Once you’ve done all that, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. You can also adjust the settings at the bottom of the window to suit your preferences.
Step 11: You return to the previous window; just click Next button. Your settings will be applied and if everything is set correctly they should work fine.
Hot Tip: If sending test messages fails, try another port mentioned above.
Step 12: Press Complete and enjoy using your Google Apps account with Outlook 2013!
