How to access Gmail from Outlook 2010

You may have several email accounts already. How could you manage them to make your life easier? I found that it is quite easy to access Gmail from Outlook. You may also have to use Outlook in your workplace.

After you have successfully made it, you may encounter another problem. Outlook keeps loading the emails from Gmail, but you just could not stop it!!! Generally, the Gmail email file is sooooo BIG!!! What can you do now? :-)

Gmail:
1. Settings->Forwarding and POP/IMAP->click Enable IMAP
2. ->Save Changes

Outlook:
1. Set up your Gmail account in Outlook 2010
     File->Info->Add Account->E-mail Account
     Fill in your information

     ->Next
     It will set up your account automatically
2. Stop loading Gmail old emails into Outlook
     In Outlook toolbar, choose Send/Receive->Send/Receive Groups

     ->Define Send/Receive Groups...->Double click All Accounts

     It will show you all the accounts you have with Outlook.
     Click on your Gmail account, and then unclick "Include the selected account in this group"->OK->Close
     It is done for you!
