Q: i cant set up Mail Account preferences to get incoming server details for gmail

I want to sync apple mail with gmail to include all mail/folders, contacts and ical if poss. I have set up a new gmail account on apple mail preferences but when I input my gmail details/password the account is automatically set up and does not go to incoming server details as listed on apple support page. I want to sync apple mail and gmail as a backup to transfer back to applemail if i have to do a complete reinsatll at any stage in the future.
