Outlook & Gmail

[Not Bman]

Started using Outlook express for Gmail (yes I have more then one account), and last time I did this, along time ago, outlook downloaded all my emails from Gmail. It did not do this ,this time. How can I make it download all the emails in my Gmail accounts?

Look in the pop settings in your Gmail account. Maybe you forgot to enable it?

I'm pretty sure I didn't, cause I get a new mail and stuff...but I'll check

Nevermind, I guess I had to re-change it to enable

Thanks

You know what there should be.....a GMAIL email client....made for gmail exatcly, with search features, and stars etc

There is one, it's located at www.gmail.com

Yeah, creating a "Outlook" version of Gmail would be against the whole point of Gmail...

no it wouldn't, just would make it easier to have more then 1 gmail account

I have 4 GMAIL accounts that all work together just fine. They are seperated for different purposes, all forward to my main account, download into Outlook and everyone is happy. I have them set up in Outlook so if need be, I can reply from individual accounts. For the local client, Outlook handles the tasks just fine. I can't speak for something like Thunderbird because I have never used it, but from what I hear it's good too.

Well, I dunno, I'm just kinda picky with my things. I'd like Outlook, or Outlook Express to have just like "local folders", to have it as Gmail Account 1, Gmail Account 2 etc, so I know for sure there all organized to each other, but I know that's not possible. I don't know if I'm going to keep a client, or just use Gmail....

hmmmm

That is possible, and can be done very easily using rules through Outlook. Set up a simple rule as all e-mail through GMAIL Account #1 goes to Folder A, Gmail account #2 goes to Folder B, etc.

I'm using Outlook express, do you mean this?

How do I make sure all goes to a cetain folder.....in the account settings?

Here is a quick tutorial on making rules in OE:

That allows me to change when it's from specific person, I don't see anything for all from account 1...etc
