For incoming mail, use the IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993, or POP3 at pop.gmail.com on port 995. Pick the exact values from the tool above and copy them straight into your mail client.

Sending email through Google Workspace

About 2,000 messages per day (external recipients); up to 10,000 via smtp-relay.gmail.com. Requires an app password with 2-Step Verification, or an admin must enable SMTP relay for the domain. Create an app password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords.

Those caps make single-mailbox sending fine for personal mail but a poor fit for cold outreach at volume. Emailchaser spreads sending across warmed inboxes and manages deliverability, so you can scale without burning Google Workspace accounts.

Common questions about Google Workspace SMTP settings

What are Google Workspace's SMTP settings?


Google Workspace's outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.gmail.com. Use port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS). STARTTLS on 587 (recommended) or SSL/TLS on 465. SMTP relay uses smtp-relay.gmail.com. Sign in with your full email address and password (or app password).

What is Google Workspace's IMAP or POP3 server?


Google Workspace's incoming IMAP server is imap.gmail.com on port 993 (SSL/TLS). If you prefer POP3, use pop.gmail.com on port 995.

Which port should I use for Google Workspace?


Use port 587 with STARTTLS wherever it's offered — it's the modern standard for authenticated sending. Port 465 with SSL/TLS is a solid alternative. Avoid port 25, which most networks block for client sending. Google Workspace's recommended value is above.

Why won't my Google Workspace SMTP connection work?


Check authentication first: Requires an app password with 2-Step Verification, or an admin must enable SMTP relay for the domain. Create an app password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords. Then confirm the host, port and security method match exactly — a 587/SSL or 465/STARTTLS mismatch will fail to connect.

Can I send bulk or cold email through Google Workspace?


Not at scale. About 2,000 messages per day (external recipients); up to 10,000 via smtp-relay.gmail.com. Providers throttle bursts to fight spam, so pushing cold email through one mailbox hits limits and wrecks deliverability. High-volume outreach belongs on dedicated infrastructure that spreads sending across warmed inboxes — which is what Emailchaser does.
