Gmail IMAP for Entourage 2008

Follow the instructions below to set up Entourage 2008 to receive Gmail messages via an IMAP connection. Keep in mind that Entourage only works for email - the UWF Calendar must be managed through the UWF Google Apps web interface at gmail.uwf.edu.

IMPORTANT: When someone schedules an event with you in Google, you will receive the invitation in Entourage. Accept or decline the meeting using the "Yes/No" links in the body of the email. This will put the event on your Google Calendar instead of your Entourage calendar.

DEPARTMENT/ORGANIZATION EMAIL: In place of your personal name, email address, username, and password, you must use the department/organization information. If you are a responsible party for the account, you can look up the password in the My ArgoNet app in MyUWF. If you are not a responsible party, you must ask the responsible party for the account to look up the password and enter the information for you.

2. From the Tools, select Accounts.
   
   
3. Click New.
