"See this Google article: IMAP or POP to access your gmail.

Note: these steps must have been done before you try to access your gmail account using a POP or IMAP email client."

You must use an email client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, etc, to access GMail via IMAP or POP.
