Is there a possibility to enable IMAP for incoming Gmail mail?
As I said in topic title.
We have an option to set up an IMAP inbox for receiving voice messages with our email client, but with Outlook 2011, there's a constant barrage of errors because the following folders do not exist.
//Junk E-Mail/
//Deleted Items/
//Sent Items/
//Drafts/
There is only an Inbox folder on the server as it should be. How can I get Outlook 2011 to stop showing constant errors when it tries to check the status of the folders above? In the IMAP folders under tools, there is no option to unsubscribe these "default"
folders. Other email clients (Outlook 2010, 2013) do not exhibit this problem. Is there a way to configure Outlook 2011 so that it only checks the Inbox?
Hi all, I have done a search and have noticed that this has been asked quite a few times before and that due it being a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) has IMAP yet been enabled for use with our live, hotmail and/or outlook accounts?
If not will it ever be enabled?
If not will it ever be enabled?
Thanks

I have xfinity as my provider. It does not support IMAP except in some BETA application. If I sign up to use gmail or Hotmail I have to have IMAP on my new Windows 8 computer. What should I do???
The host 'smtp' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'imap', Server: 'smtp', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
this is what i get when i try to email pictures from my scanner, i saw somewhere that outlook does not acess imap. tks
I have about dozen email accounts in Outlook for Mac (Office for Mac 2011). All them use POP, but I'm planning to switch three of my most widely used accounts to IMAP. To better understand how IMAP works in Outlook, I created a 'testIMAP' account at my
ISP and configured it in Outlook. I noticed a change in the hierarchy of folders.
It went from:
On My Computer
-> Inbox
-> other folders (that received filter POP email)
To this:
Inbox
-> On My Computer
-> other folders (that received filter POP email)
-> testIMAP
-> Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Junk (subfolders of testIMAP)
I also discovered that empty copies On My Computer and testIMAP folders were in the Deleted Items folder. I'm not sure what's going on.
What's really unusual to me, is that incoming testIMAP email goes into two folders: Inbox and testIMAP.
And POP email that doesn't have a specific filter, now goes into two folders: Inbox and On My Computer.
Cluttering the Inbox with so much duplicated email seems problematic. Is there anyway to prevent this?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Outlook.com
I think I will go full cloud with my email and I'm considering to go gmail or outlook.com. However when I try to test outlook.com from my 3rd party email client it seems that IMAP is not supported. I almost can't believe it! Can someone enlighten me on this? I have seen other posts about it and find that outlook.com does not offer IMAP access but not why. I'm looking for an explanation for why this is, since it doesn't add up when Microsoft are aiming more and more to the cloud and one of the most important and widely supported protocols for this is left out.
thanks in advance

Hi there,
My partner and I have been using Outlook.com for many months now and overall, we are very happy with what it offfers (mail, calendar, Skydrive etc.)
However, we have recently purchased an iMac and will soon be looking to buy iPhones. If our understanding is correct, Outlook.com does not operate using IMAP, which is preventing us from using the Mail application on our iMac.
Having researched this topic a little it seems that Microsoft intend to enable IMAP for Outlook.com but at present, there is no timescale.
Is this correct? We want to have all of our emails etc. synchronising across various devices and would be reluctant to change our email accounts to another provider as we like Outlook.com - but - if there is no foreseeable IMAP introduction for Outlook.com then we will have to consider alternatives. Gmail appears to work on IMAP and emails sent to/from our iMac sync perfectly.
Any help and/or information on this would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
