Making a Gmail POP3 account can really come in handy and the good
thing about that is configuring such an account is not at all complex.
There is just an easy two-step process for configuring your Gmail POP3
account for receiving your mails in another client. First, you have to
enable your Gmail POP3 account so that you receive all your mails in
another email client. After you have enabled the account, then you just
have to provide the data to create a POP3 account. Creating a POP3
account is as simple as that.
Here, both the steps are explained clearly:
Step 1-Enabling your Gmail POP3 account
To enable your Gmail account, all you have to do is access your Gmail
account by logging through www.gmail.com. After you have successfully
logged in, click on the “settings” link located on the top-right corner
of the screen. Click on the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” link on the
screen.
Now you have two choices- Either you can enable POP3 for all the
mails i.e. the ones that have been already downloaded and the ones to be
received in the future or you can enable POP3 for only the mails which
are to be received in the future.
After making your choice click on the “save changes” button and this will save the fed configuration information.
Step 2- Providing the data
Now that you have enabled your Gmail POP3 account, you can create an
account now. Even though the procedure varies from one email client to
another, the common values or fields that you are required to fill are
as below.
Email Address: Your Gmail email address
POP Password: Your Gmail password
Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing server (SMTP) port: 587
Server Address: pop.gmail.com
Incoming Server Port: 995
TLS/SSL required: Yes
