by Smith Willas Traveller

So, you are a regular Outlook user, but also love to use Gmail simultaneously, mainly because:

·         The features offered by Gmail are simply great

·         It offers you an unbelievable storage space and you don't have to worry about out the email size

·         You can send and receive any size file or document in no time

But what if I tell you that it is also possible to get an access of your Gmail account on Microsoft Outlook also. I am sure that you will not believe me at first place but yes it is a reality. By configuring your Gmail account to Outlook, you can access Gmail on Outlook also. However, there are chances that you may experience some issues when connecting Gmail with Outlook and there are several tips to help you out:

Gmail Not Syncing with Outlook

If you try to sync Gmail with Outlook, then you may not enjoy great success. The issue crops up because in the year 2012, the search engine giant, Google, had terminated two services, namely Google Sync and Google Calendar Sync that were mainly created for the purpose of synchronizing Gmail with Outlook. If you are still trying effortlessly to sync your account, but not getting any fruitful results, then you can consider the following two options:

Delete your Gmail account from Outlook. Surprised? Well, don't be because by following this process, you will not lose any data or important mails. All the data remains completely safe on the Google server rather than on your system. After deleting Gmail account, make it a point to add it again by completing below mentioned steps:

·         Open your Outlook Mail

·         Go to File and choose Account and Social Settings

·      Select the Account Settings option for the purpose of removing and adding the Gmail.

There is also a free version of the Google Sync available and if you try to link with the Outlook, then you will only have to be disappointed because Google Sync is not supported by the search engine giant. Google also offers you an option to upgrade to the premium Google Apps account, but for this purpose, you will be required to pay some amount. The only advantage which you get here is that you will not be able to negotiate the syncing problem with the Outlook.

Duplicate Mails When Trying to Send Mails to Outlook through Gmail

Noticed the duplicate copies on your Gmail sent folder of a same message when mailed to any Outlook account? If yes, then checking out or deleting the duplicate mails can consume a lot of time. The problem takes place because you may be using an SMTP server of the search engine. When a mail is sent, then the SMTP server as well as the Outlook saves the copy of the sent message. To fix this issue, you must make it a point to use the SMTP server of your Internet service provider rather than using the server of Gmail.  

Repeatedly Asking for Password When Connecting Outlook with Gmail

More often than not, when you try to connect your Gmail account with the Outlook, then a pop up window comes up repeatedly asking for the user name and password. This is certainly very annoying and may also create some issues to configure outlook with Gmail. To negotiate this problem easily, there are certain steps that you have to follow:

·         Login to the Gmail account

·         Click the 'Settings Icon' that appears on the top right side of the screen. A list will appear where you will be required to select the 'Settings' Option.

·         Select the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and select 'POP is enabled for all mail' option

·         After that, under the IMAP is enabled section, select the 'Enable IMAP' button and save changes.

Problem in Sending and Receiving Mails

If you exhaust your email limit and you are not aware of it, then there is every chance that you may encounter some problems while sending and receiving mails from your Outlook Gmail. The only solution for this problem is to move some important messages from your Outlook folders to some other server. By following this activity, a significant amount of space can be cleaned and your Outlook will run smoothly.

Gmail Automatically Makes a Set of Folders

You may have noticed on your Gmail account that there are separate folders for the all mail, personal, important, spam, sent and many other folders. These folders get created in Gmail when there is an issue with the email size. In the all mail folder, you will find all send and received emails. In the important folder, most of the mails are marked by the Gmail as important (whether the mails are actually important or not). To fix this problem either you increase email size of your outlook or better take help of the Gmail technical support team.

It is quite a simple activity to fix all issues when it comes to configuring Gmail with Outlook. You must perform all these prominent activities cautiously for getting better results. However, if get stuck in any other problem besides the issues mentioned above, then take the expert assistance of Gmail technical support team and have a stress free experience.
