Adding your Gmail account to Outlook can increase your productivity by keeping all of your emais in the one place.
In order to add your account, you must set it up to use POP. Go to the Settings folder in Gmail, and choose the “Forwarding and POP” checkbox.
Then, you need to go back to Outlook and select the “Account Settings” under “Tools”. Then, click the email tab and then choose “New”.
You will then need to enter your Gmail account information. This will require typing your name, email address and password. Then click Finish, and you should see all of the options being checked off by Outlook.
To test, go back to the inbox and click “Send and Receive”. You can move your emails around by separating into different folders, in order to keep your Gmail and Outlook messages apart.
