I use IMAP to manage my GMail accounts. It's not very satisfactory, as their implementation of the IMAP protocol seems slow and perhaps incomplete. If you would like to try it, here's what I suggest for a start:

Name of mail server: imap.gmail.com
Type of mail server: IMAP
Connection security: SSL
Your email login name: Your GMail address
Your password: I believe you will need to get an "application password" from Google

Others may use different settings--this is just what I have found to work.

HTH!

Peter
