Mac Mail 4.5 (Entourage) - GMail IMAP

[John Greer]

I cannot get Entourage to connect with GMail!
I've Googled this and have tried many different suggestions.

I'm using:

Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
SSL: checked

Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
SSL: checked

OK. Is the account setup as IMAP or POP3?

Add "Requires Authentication" to SMTP.

Verify in your browser that you have set to IMAP and depending on what version, check under Labs to see if "Advanced IMAP" is an option. This feature has been included in newer versions.

IMAP. Sorry I didn't mention that. I assumed the server name was a giveaway.

I also neglected to say that it's works on my PC and BB and iTouch, so I assume it's an Entourage setting.

Solved

The error messaged generated was: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=185833

This reminded me that I had enabled Googles two-step security.
Once I remembered that, and requested an Application-specific password, it worked.
