Gmail Account In Outlook?

[bbwannabe]

Just got a gmail account from a friend (cos hotmails having delay issues again) and i want to use it in outlook but im not entirely sure its possible...is it? Cheers.

GMail don't offer POP3 on Outlook at the moment, you have to use the website to check your email.

There was a little application that I saw a while back that allowed you to access it through Outlook express but I don't know how successful it was. Currently GMail is web based as Scott has said and therefore you need to access it via the web interface, there are a couple of notification tools out there that can let you know when you get a gmail and allow you to open the mail or inbox from the taskbar if you are interested.

appreciate the help. I wanted to use it to backup the emails into folders, rather than forwarding them to another address i can use in outlook and then backing them up.
