  • 1.  Outlook 2013 and Gmail IMAP Setup

    Posted Mar 23, 2016 05:43 PM

    I am trying to setup an IMAP Gmail account in Outlook 2013 with Symantec Encryption Desktop v 10.3.2.  I have been unsuccessful so far.  Using the settings I'll list below, I've been able to get it to send a test message, but it's unable to logon to the incoming mail server.  Outlook gives the error "Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): A secure connection to the server cannot be established."

    Outlook 2013 Account Settings:

    • Account Type: IMAP
    • Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
    • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com

    Outlook 2013 Account Settings -> More Settings:

    • Outgoing Server Tab:
      • My outgoing server (SMTP) require authentication (box checked)
        • Use same settings as my incoming mail server (radio button selected)
    • Advanced Tab:
      • Incoming server (IMAP): 993
      • Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
      • Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
      • Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL

    Symantec Encryption Desktop
    PGP Messaging - new service created:

    • Description: [address]@gmail.com
    • Email address: [address]@gmail.com
    • Incoming Server: *
    • Outgoing Server: *
    • Encryption Server: <none>
    • Username: [address]@gmail.com
    • Default Key: [Added my gmail account to my organization's default key]

    New Service Server Settings:

    • Server Type: Internet Mail
    • Incoming Mail Server:
      • Name: *
      • Protocol: IMAP
      • Port: Automatic (993)
      • SSL/TLS: Require SSL
    • Outgoing Mail Server:
      • Name: *
      • Port: Automatic (465)
      • SSL/TLS: Require SSL

    Using these settings I feel like it SHOULD work but I'm unable to complete the setup of my Gmail account in Outlook.  I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance in getting these settings correct so that I can correctly setup an IMAP Gmail account in outlook.

    Thank you!

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?  I find it EXTREMELY frustrating that I have it setup well enough to allow Outlook to successfully SEND test messages but not to actually complete the inbox setup and receive them.
