Time to Complete (in minutes): 0
- Question:
- How do I configure a client to access my Virginia Tech Google E-mail?
- Answer:
- Google provides documentation for all Google-supported e-mail clients. Virginia Tech does not endorse or provide additional support for e-mail clients. We recommend you access your Google e-mail using the Web interface at the Virginia Tech Google Apps Web page (http://start.google.vt.edu/start).
To access your Virginia Tech Google e-mail using a client:
- Enable IMAP within Gmail. For instructions, see the Enabling IMAP Web page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695).
- Configure a client to access your Google e-mail. For instructions, see the Supported IMAP client list Web page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=75726).
Notes:
- Important: The account name or user name in Google's instructions for configuring clients is referred to as username@gmail.com. Instead, you will always use [Your PID]@vt.edu. Replace [Your PID] with your own PID.
- Important: The password for accessing your Google e-mail using a client is the Google password that you created when you set up the Google e-mail account. If you have forgotten your password, see Changing Your Virginia Tech Google Password.
- If you are repeatedly prompted for your user name and password or if you are getting errors such as "Invalid credentials" or "Web login required", go to the https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha Web page to unlock the Google captcha.
