<title>Access a Gmail IMAP Account via <app>Evolution</app></title>
|
|
|
|
<p>To access Gmail via IMAP you must turn on IMAP in your Google account. See the <link href="https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695">Gmail Help</link> for more information.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is recommended to set up Gmail as an online account in GNOME. Please <link xref="help:gnome-help/accounts" href="https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/accounts">refer to the GNOME Desktop Help</link> for more information. After doing so, the Gmail account will be listed in Evolution.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For configuring the account in Evolution, refer to the <link xref="mail-account-manage-imap-plus">IMAP+ mail account settings</link>. Note that not all options of such accounts can be edited in <app>Evolution</app> and such accounts can only be removed in <app>Online accounts</app> itself.</p>
|
|
|
|
<!-- Evolution does not support Google's proprietary SASL XOAUTH2 implementation which makes Evolution a "less secure app" for Google. -->
|
|
<p>As an alternative to setting up an online account in GNOME, allow <link href="https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps">access for less secure apps in your Gmail account settings</link>.</p>

<note style="tip"><p>For performance reasons it is recommended to <gui>Use a Real Folder for Trash</gui> by setting it to <gui>[GMail]/Trash</gui> and to <gui>Use a Real Folder for Junk</gui> by setting it to <gui>[GMail]/Spam</gui> under the account's <link xref="mail-default-folder-locations"><gui>Defaults</gui></link>.</p></note>
