Gmail – How to Configure IMAP

gmailimap

I have IMAP on and I had it working before. Now I reinstalled my OS and I want to enable Outlook in Windows 7 with Gmail but it's not authenticating.

enter image description here

I have 2-way authentication turned on. Should this be working or is it impossible because I have 2-way authentication on?

You need to generate an application-specific password from your Google Account Settings. Once done, that application specific password must be provided in Outlook, instead of your regular password.

Gmail – Is it a common issue for IMAP to show old messages as new

A message is considered recent when it has the \RECENT flag:

From the rfc3501

   \Recent
       Message is "recently" arrived in this mailbox.  This session
       is the first session to have been notified about this
       message; if the session is read-write, subsequent sessions
       will not see \Recent set for this message.  This flag can not
       be altered by the client.
       If it is not possible to determine whether or not this
       session is the first session to be notified about a message,
       then that message SHOULD be considered recent.
       If multiple connections have the same mailbox selected
       simultaneously, it is undefined which of these connections
       will see newly-arrived messages with \Recent set and which
       will see it without \Recent set.

So, as long as the client checks the recent flag you should blame IMAP...

Gmail – import the IMAP sent folder from another account without creating duplicates

Google's duplicate matching is based on the Message-ID: header. As long as they're truly the same message duplicates will not be created.
