3. To apply the setting to all users, leave the top organizational unit selected
4. Scroll to POP and IMAP access
5. If IMAP is not already enabled for all users, click on the POP and IMAP access section
6. Then check the Enable IMAP access for all users checkbox
7. Choose the Allow any mail client radio button to ensure any IMAP email client can sync with Gmail
8. Click Save
