  1. Please i need help for windows 8 activation code.

  2. Gmail has many different domains that are used by company, organizations, and schools using their inferior email system. The above mentioned steps will not work with Outlook 2013, the much superior, easy to use email handler. You must use the “More Settings” button and enter the ssl, tsl, and other pieces of information manually to use IMAP properly in Outlook. You could save yourself the time, headache that is google, as well as having ALL of your email information-mined and that information sold to whomever wants it by using Hotmail, live, or outlook through Microsoft. It is a much better, easier, more professional system that that silly google junk.

    says:

    I’d strongly encourage anyone configuring ANY email client to talk to GMail to use IMAP instead of POP. POP is a very old and not very capable mailbox protocol and is vastly inferior to IMAP.

    Please follow Google’s instructions to get the IMAP details for GMail and then plug the necessary settings into Outlook in a similar manner to the instructions above
