Having troubles with POP configuration? Windows users can download the Gmail POP Troubleshooter tool to automatically diagnose any POP issues with Outlook 2000 or newer, Outlook Express 6, or Thunderbird 1.5.

 

You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Mail.

To enable POP in your Gmail account:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.




4. Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
5. Choose the action you'd like your Gmail messages to take after they are accessed with POP.
6. Configure your POP client* and click Save Changes.

*To learn about configuring POP access, please visit the POP client configuration list.
