I just configured my microsoft outlook 2007 with my gmail account. The test message shows that my gmail account has received the test message. However, I can’t receive mails through outlook, but instead, can only send mail out from outlook. What do I need to do?

I’m using Outlook 2003 and when I go to the screen, my options to ‘download headers only’ or ‘download complete items including attachments’ are both greyed out and I can’t select either. Any ideas?

This actually didn’t work for me. I have 103,000+ emails in Gmail going back to 1999.

When I select the “All Mail” folder in the hierarchy, and tell it to download all of the messages + attachments, it just downloads headers… every time.

I have to go to each folder, Select All, and then right-click and choose “Mark to download message(s)”, and then go to Send/Receive in the toolbar, and choose “Process marked headers in this folder”.

Long, and VERY tedious… when it shouldn’t be this difficult.

Thanks for the advice, mostly everything is working fine however:

When I read email on my blackberry I notice that the email changes to read on my Gmail account, but still shows as unread on Outlook. Deletions work fine on both Gmail and outlook in realtime, any suggestions as this is a major irritant.

Thanks

“Or you could just hit the Ctrl+Alt+S shortcut key instead of navigating the ridiculous menus.” – hah hah hah I like your style. Yes it is rather ridiculous that IT professionals need Google’s/your help to find such a basic option. But the location kind of makes sense… when you know…

PS: It worked thanks.
