Hi there,

I'm trying to configure IMAP for Outlook 2007. In the help topics it says "go to Settings -> Forwarding and IMAP", but there is only a "Forwarding" tab. Nothing about IMAP.
I really need to configure Outlook (which tells me to enable gmail for IMAP access)! WHat can I do?

Thanks for your help!
