Setting Up IMAP For Outlook 2007

Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a commonly used email service, employed by many webmail services like Gmail. Having an IMAP account lets you filter the email through an email management client. The latter comprises Outlook 2007 and similar applications, which let you handle and manage your email account from a single place, and without ever opening a browser for it. One benefit of using Outlook 2007 is that your email messages can be sorted and moved into separate folders, automatically depending on set criteria, or manually.

Setting up IMAP for Outlook 2007

  • Get the relevant server information from your provider. The required details include the name of the Outgoing and Incoming email servers as well as the port number for them. Also, you will need the authentication settings for the account to be configured.
  • Open the Outlook 2007 program. Go to Tools in the main menu, and select the Account Settings option under this.
  • Click on the Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP or HTTP option, and then hit the Next button.
  • Check the box next to the Manually configure server settings or addition server types option to enable it. Hit the Next button. Select the Internet E-mail radio button and then hit Next again.
  • Enter your account information, including the name, email address, and the incoming and outgoing email server addresses. In the next window, enter your login credentials – the user name and password. Go to the Account Type box and choose the IMAP option. Select the Remember password option.
  • Hit the More Settings option. Maybe your IMAP account will not be set up right away, in which case, you need to recheck the server information provided under the Outgoing Server and Advanced tabs. The port numbers and the authorization settings are given there, and if any of these details is given wrongly, Outlook cannot connect to your webmail account.
