If you want to receive Gmail in a separate email client, set up your Gmail account in another email client to get all your email in one place. You'll need to specify Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) settings so that the email client knows how to retrieve your Gmail messages.

IMAP is an Internet protocol that allows email clients to communicate with an email service, such as Gmail. IMAP is a replacement for the older POP3 email protocol. IMAP offers many advantages, including the ability to keep the status of emails synchronized, access multiple mailboxes on a single server, and enable server-side search of content.

IMAP lets you read your Gmail on multiple devices and syncs messages and folders in real time.

To access a Gmail account via the IMAP protocol in your email program or on your mobile device, you need to enable IMAP in Gmail.
