IMAP Gmail e Sicurezza

The IMAP server for Gmail in 2025 remains imap.gmail.com, using port 993 with SSL security ^{[5] [3]}. IMAP is enabled by default for all Gmail accounts, and as of January 2025, the option to manually "Enable IMAP" or "Disable IMAP" is no longer available—IMAP access is always on for personal Google Accounts ^{[7] [1]}.

To connect a Gmail account via IMAP, use the following details:

• Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.gmail.com ^{[5] [3]}
• Port: 993 ^{[5] [3]}
• Security: SSL ^{[5] [3]}
• Username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., [email protected]) ^[5]
• Password: Your Gmail password (you may need an app password if 2FA is enabled) ^[1]

IMAP access in Gmail is now managed automatically and can no longer be toggled from the Gmail interface for personal accounts as of 2025 ^[7]. For Google Workspace (business) accounts, IMAP can still be managed by administrators in the admin console ^[6].

If your account uses two-factor authentication, you must generate an app password in your Google Security settings to use with third-party clients ^[1].

Legacy authentication for IMAP may be discontinued for Google Workspace in March 2025, so using modern authentication (OAuth 2.0) is recommended for business users ^[6]. Personal accounts do not require configuration beyond the standard IMAP details above.
