What is IMAP?
IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, lets you download messages from Gmail's servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook. IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
1. Login to MyNCC Student email at http://mail.students.ncc.edu

3. Open your Settings panel in Gmail, and then click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
4. Now click the “Enable IMAP” radio button, and click “Save Changes”.
