9.1.1 IMAP Setup
Note:
IMAP can be used for the Home Station Email setup. If you use IMAP for the LevelSender Email, the Remote Changes will not work. To accept Remote Changes the LevelSender only accepts POP.
Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings:
- Sign in to Gmail.
- Click the gear in the top right
. - Select Settings.
- Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- Select Enable IMAP.
- Click Save Changes.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
- imap.gmail.com
- Port: 993
- Requires SSL: Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
- smtp.gmail.com
- Port: 465 or 587
- Requires SSL: Yes
- Requires authentication: Yes
- Use same settings as incoming mail server
Full Name or Display Name: [your name]
Account Name or User Name: your full Gmail address ([email protected]). Google Apps users, please enter [email protected]_domain.com
Email address: your full Gmail address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter [email protected] your_domain.com
Password: your Gmail password
If your client does not support SMTP authentication, you will not be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you are having trouble sending mail but have confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
9.1.2 POP Setup
Note:
Use POP when setting up the LevelSender Email account so it will allow Remote Changes.
Here is how to enable POP in Gmail:
- Sign in to Gmail.
- Click the gear in the top right .
- Select Settings.
- Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
- Choose what to do with your messages after your POP client or device receives them.
- Click Save Changes.
Although the radio button next to your selected option may not stay selected, Gmail displays the status next to 'POP Status:.' When you enable POP, your settings display 'POP Status: POP is enabled.'
If your POP settings are turned off, the status will indicate that POP is disabled.
Standard configuration instructions:
| Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: |
pop.gmail.com |
| Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL: | smtp.gmail.com |
| Server timeouts: | Greater than 1 minute, we recommend 5 |
| Full Name or Display Name: | [your name] |
| Account Name or User Name: | your full email address (including @gmail.com or @ your_domain.com) |
| Email Address: | your email address ([email protected] or [email protected]_domain.com) |
| Password: | your Gmail password |
Unless you are using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you have opted not to leave messages on the server. Your POP settings in Gmail settings are what determines whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client will not affect how Gmail handles your mail.
If your client does not support SMTP authentication, you will not be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
If you are having trouble sending mail but have confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port (465 or 587).
