| Manage Gmail IMAP settings in the Admin console |
Earlier this year, we announced additional enhanced Gmail IMAP controls. With this launch, we’re further ensuring that your users’ communication is secure and reliable.
Gmail IMAP was previously only configurable at the domain or OU level.
Getting started
- Admins: IMAP options are OFF by default and can be enabled at the domain, organizational unit (OU), or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning IMAP options on or off for your organization.
- End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. End users will only be able to use the allowlisted IMAP clients approved by admins.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on December 9, 2021
