receive mail in Gmail but not in Outlook

  • Follow


I have a Gmail notifier and I also use Outlook.  I get my notification of 
mail in Gmail but it doesn't go into my Outlook.  I have configured Gmail to 
send to Outlook but it doesn't always go.  Sometimes I get it, sometimes not. 
 I have Outlook 2007, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Did you set up an email account in Outlook?

You cannot configure Gmail to *send* e-mails received there to Outlook.
That's because Outlook is NOT an e-mail server.  You will have to configure
the server-side options in your Gmail account as to what type of access you
wish to permit (POP or IMAP or both) so an e-mail client can *retrieve* your
e-mails from your Gmail mailbox.  Outlook is a client program.  You cannot
send any e-mails to Outlook.  You can send e-mails to a server.

Since you say that sometimes your e-mail client can retrieve e-mails from
your Gmail account then the access has been properly defined.  So what is
the mail poll interval defined in Outlook?  The notifier will alert when a
new message arrives.  Your e-mail client won't know until it gets around to
its next scheduled mail poll or you perform a manual poll (F9 key).

How many Gmail accounts do you have defined in Outlook?  Google has their
own anti-abuse quota that you cannot concurrently poll more than some max
number of Gmail accounts.  I think the max is 5 or 6.

Have you yet tried disabling the superfluous e-mail scanner in your anti-
virus program and retest?
