Thankfully, you can have your Gmail messages sent to Outlook with IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol. To enable this feature, go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab under Settings and click “Enable IMAP.” Configure your IMAP client and save your changes. Open Outlook, then click “Tools” and select “Accounts”.Click “Add”, then “Mail”.Enter your Gmail address in the “Email Address” field and select IMAP from the dropdown menu and enter “imap.gmail.com” in the “server” field. Then click "Add Account". From here on out you will be able to manage email in your Gmail account right from Outlook.
