Configuring Your Google Workspace Incoming Mail Server Settings

When it comes to setting up your email account in Google Workspace, one of the essential steps is configuring your incoming mail server settings. This process can seem daunting, but with this guide, you'll be able to set up your Gmail or other email provider's incoming mail server settings in no time.

To begin, select whether you want to configure inbound, outbound, or both types of mail servers. It's essential to note that you must use an address list to enforce TLS for inbound and outbound messages.

Next, click on the 'Add setting' box and enter a name for the setting. You can add more TLS settings by clicking on the 'Add Another' button. Then, point to 'Secure transport (TLS) compliance' and click on 'Configure.'

On the left-hand side of the page, select an organizational unit. If you have a work or school account that uses Microsoft 365 for business or Exchange-based accounts, it's recommended that you contact your Microsoft 365 admin or technical support for assistance.

For Google Workspace users, navigate to the Admin console and go to 'Menu' > 'Apps' > 'Google Workspace' > 'Gmail' > 'Compliance.' You can also check out the server status of or troubleshoot email setup on mobile Outlook apps.

If you're using an email provider like Gmail, Yahoo, or others, make sure to enter the correct password associated with your email account. The email address you want to set up should also be entered correctly.

The port number used by your incoming mail server is usually 143 or 993 for IMAP, or 110 or 995 for POP. These settings are specific to sending email to your email provider's mail server.

You can also specify the display name that your email recipients will see. Enter the correct password associated with your email account and make sure to find out from your email provider what you'll need to access your email on your mobile device.

Note that you may only need some of these settings, so be sure to check with your provider if you're unsure which ones to use. Additionally, you will likely need to set up your email as an IMAP or POP account as well.

To make things easier, we've put together a handy chart of the email server settings you should ask for from your email provider. The chart includes information on POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP server names, as well as other settings you may need to enter.

If you're still unsure about what settings you need, check out the POP and IMAP settings page in Outlook Web App or sign in to your account using Outlook Web App for more information. For help signing in, see Sign in to Outlook Web App.

In conclusion, configuring your Google Workspace incoming mail server settings is a straightforward process that requires some basic information from your email provider. By following these steps and asking the right questions, you'll be able to set up your email account with ease.
