4. Enter your full UCSC email address (name@ucsc.edu) and password, then select Next.
5. Select IMAP account and then select Next. 
6. On the 'Incoming server settings' page, some fields may be pre-populated. Make sure to change the following:
7. For 'Username,' enter your full UCSC email address (name@ucsc.edu)
8. For 'IMAP server,' enter 'imap.gmail.com'
9. For 'Port,' enter '993'
10. For 'Security type,' select 'SSL'
11. Select Next.
12. On the 'Outgoing server settings' page, some fields may be pre-populated. Make sure to change the following:

14. For 'Port,' enter '465'
