Adding Outlook to Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking to add your Gmail account to Microsoft Outlook on your Mac? You're in the right place. In this article, we'll walk you through a step-by-step process of setting up your Gmail account with Outlook.

Manual Setup

To begin, select the POP or IMAP option, then click Next. Next, choose the Manual setup or additional server types option and click Next again.

Gmail Settings

The settings for syncing Gmail with another mail client are similar to those used for older versions of Outlook, but you can use them with other mail clients as well. Simply replace your own email address and domains in place of the example values shown below.

Outlook Setup on Mac or PC

If you're using Outlook on a Mac, follow the steps at Add a Gmail account to Outlook for Mac on the Microsoft Office support site. If you're using Outlook on a PC, follow the steps at Add a Gmail account to Outlook for Windows on the same site.

Warning Message

When connecting your Gmail account to Outlook, you might receive a warning message in your inbox telling you that a new sign-in was detected. Don't worry; this is just a security feature to let you know someone has accessed your account from another location.

OAuth Support

Note that Outlook 2016 volume licensed version with Windows Installer (MSI) does not support OAuth. However, Outlook from Microsoft 365 (desktop version) and other latest versions of email clients such as Apple Mail and Samsung Mail do support OAuth. Email clients that use OAuth keep your Gmail account more secure by allowing apps and websites to share your Google account data without requiring your username or password.

Using the Latest Versions

We recommend using the latest versions of Outlook, Apple Mail, and Samsung Mail for added security and compatibility with Gmail. If you're not sure if your email client supports OAuth, contact tech support or check the help documentation for the client.

In this article, we've outlined a step-by-step guide on how to add your Gmail account to Microsoft Outlook on your Mac. We hope this helps you set up your email client and enjoy seamless communication across multiple platforms.
