But that doesn't let me set a reminder on an e-mail in the IMAP based OST. What's the harm in that?!!Īnd note that I'm fully aware that I can have a SEPARATE local PST (after all, I still have one tied to the one POP server). I just want to use IMAP to get the data from the server into that file. I'll take care of the file on my local machine. Just give me an option to use IMAP with a Better slap them down a bit for using IMAP! Heck, if they want to keep the same security measures, etc. Server, so we best not let anyone think they don't need Exchange. But why can't Outlook do what Outlook does? It's almost like we're being penalized because IMAP is just a bit too close to having an Exchange See my local calendar from the web e-mail interface. The user experience in Outlook need to be any different? If the extra information (in fact ALL of the information) for the POP e-mail account is being stored in the local PST file, why can't I do the same thing with IMAP. However, on my on hosted domain with unlimited storage, I like to take advantage of the fact that IMAP lets me leave the messages up there and check my e-mail remotely from a web interface if I wish. In my old RoadRunner account where Time Warner had a storage limit on the e-mail server, I never changed off of POP since leaving messages on the server would quickly cause bounces to Most ISP mail servers support using either POP or IMAP protocols. That doesn't change the fact that it COULD have been done differently, and could still be fixed. I'm sure there are some arguments to be had over the security features of not allowing migration of OSTs and just requiring synchronization from the servers, but Really a developer (Microsoft) decision and not necessarily due to a limitation of IMAP. Leaving out the obvious fact that Microsoft wants to sell Exchange servers, the choice to make an IMAP OST be ONLY a cache of the server and not extend it beyond that is Up (with a date/time) like they can do on an Exchange mailbox or a POP3 mailbox. doesn't change the fact that users of Outlook expect to be able to have calendars in their Outlook mailboxes and to be able to do things like flagging a message for follow The fact that the IMAP protocol doesn't support calendars, etc. The short answer here unfortunately comes across as the somewhatĬommon IT explanation that can be summarized as "It doesn't work that way because we didn't design it to work that way." Unfortunately that doesn't really address the usage case of the end user that doesn't really care whether or not the designer Google claims that this is done for the safety of your account, but it seems to me that Outlook shouldn’t necessarily be on the list of risky apps.I came across this topic after doing a search for "when will outlook support calendar for imap mailboxes" and since it's relatively recent, figured I'd add to the discussion. If after doing this, Google still seems to be blocking Outlook from accessing Gmail, then you will need to change some settings in Google, not in Outlook. If you do it the other way around, the 587 may revert back to Port 25 which can cause connectivity issues. The trick here is to choose TLS in the Outgoing server encrypted connection menu before typing ‘587’ in the Outgoing Server.
Incoming server encrypted connection: SSL.Step 5: As soon as you click on Next, a pop-up. In case, if you want to transfer every mail, then skip this step and hit the Next button.
Step 4: Now, opt any criteria for the Outlook emails that will forward into Gmail account. Try to add your Gmail account to Outlook once again, but pay careful attention when entering the server settings, which look like this: Step 3: Select Apply rule on messages I receive option under the Start from a blank rule section and click on Next.
