Setting Up Mac Mail and Gmail: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you struggling to connect your Gmail account to Mac Mail? Look no further! In this article, we will walk you through the simple steps to set up Gmail with Mac Mail.

To begin, open Mac Mail on your computer. Click on 'Mail' in the top menu bar and select 'Preferences.' This will open the Preferences window.

In the General tab, enter the following values:

* Password: Your Google Workspace Gmail password

* User Name: Your Google Workspace Gmail address

* Email Address: Your Google Workspace Gmail address

* Your Name: The name you use with your Google Workspace Gmail account

Next, click on the 'Accounts' tab and select 'Add Account.' In the Add Account window, enter the following values:

* Select the POP or IMAP option, then click Next.

* Select the Manual setup or additional server types option, then click Next.

Now, you will need to enter the outgoing server settings. Check the box that says 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.' If your reply email address is different from your email address, enter it in the 'Reply E-MAIL' field. You can also enter your company or school name in the 'Organization' field.

Finally, click on the 'Add Account' button to complete the setup process.

It's worth noting that these steps are for older versions of Outlook, but you can use the values shown in these steps with other mail clients as well. Replace them with your own email address and domains.

If you're using Outlook on a Mac, follow the steps at Add a Gmail account to Outlook for Mac, on the Microsoft Office support site. If you're using Outlook on a PC, follow the steps at Add a Gmail account to Outlook for Windows, on the Microsoft Office support site.

When you connect your Gmail account to Outlook, you might get a warning message in your inbox telling you that a new sign-in was detected. This is normal and can be ignored.

Additionally, if you're using Outlook 2016 volume licensed version with Windows Installer (MSI) does not support OAuth. However, Outlook from Microsoft 365 (desktop version) supports OAuth, which keeps your Gmail account more secure.

Before setting up your Gmail account with another mail client, make sure to turn on IMAP in the Admin console by following the steps in Turn POP and IMAP on and off for users. If you're not sure if your email client supports OAuth, contact tech support or check the help documentation for the client.

In conclusion, setting up Mac Mail and Gmail is a relatively simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following this guide, you should be able to connect your Gmail account to Mac Mail without any issues.
