Sure!
SMTP Server:
smtp.gmail.com 
Secure to dedicated Port (TLS) Port 465

Mail Server:
imap.gmail.com   Protocol IMAP4
User: your email address
Secure to dedicated Port (TLS) Port 993

Under Authentication: same user/password as for mail retrieval


I hope it helps!

I tried that, but it still didn't work for me. I wonder if you could
mention all the settings/ports/etc. you're using for both incoming and
outgoing mail on that account? Thanks!

You probably need to use TLS or STARTTLS, but that is a connection 
method rather than an authorisation option. (I use POP3 for my gmail 
account, with "regular" authorisation.)

Can I set up an IMAP account for a gmail address?

[Melissa Reese]

Hi,

I've always used pop3 for my accounts, but I have one new account that
would be more convenient if I could set it up via the IMAP protocol.

I tried to set up the account as IMAP, but the incoming authorization
(according to gmail) seems to want "SSL", which is not listed in the
available authorization options for incoming mail.  Do I need a v7.x
Bat to get that option?  Or will this v6.x version work as well?
Because...

I'm still using a v6.x Bat on this computer. My main computer, which
has v7.x installed, isn't working properly at the moment, so I've been
using this other computer for a few months. As far as I know, I
purchased two different licenses for the two computers, and I don't
think I can "upgrade" this Bat without purchasing a new license.

I'm wondering - since the Bat with the newer license is on a
misbehaving computer at the moment, could I somehow use that license
to upgrade this instance of Bat?

In any event, I'd like to know if there's a way to set up this new
gmail account as IMAP on this machine with Bat v6.x.

Thanks!
