As much as I like Gmail’s web interface, sometimes I would prefer to format the email in a desktop client. Outlook 2010 also comes with a lot of advantages and benefits over web based clients such as a completely redesigned interface, grouping of messages and their replies, built-in flagging and categorizing and simpler meeting invitations and scheduling. This guide will help you set up your already existing Gmail with Outlook 2010 using IMAP.

Go to Gmail’s website and go to Settings on the top right. Go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP page and make sure IMAP is enabled.
