Use Gmail to access IMAP mail

[ravi.xolve]

I have an IMAP enabled mail provided to me by my university. Can I use my Gmail web interface to access the email of my university mailbox, as the former is a more powerful interface.

Gmail's Mail fetcher only supports POP. It does NOT retrieve mails with IMAP.

So, you need to see whether your university supports POP or not.

GMail supports IMAP.. and its easy to setup

Incoming Server - imap.gmail.com
Port - 993 SSL-Yes
Outgoing Server - smtp.gmail.com
Port - 587 TLS - Yes

username to be used as - username@gmail.com

^OP wants to fetch mails from his university's IMAP account in gmail, not gmail messages on his computer.
