Method 2: Add Gmail to Outlook on Mac

Outlook for Mac app received a nice makeover on the Mac. Microsoft is expected to replace it with a single Outlook app on Mac and Windows, but it’s far from over, and as of now, we will use the current Outlook Mac app for demonstration.

Step 1:OpenOutlook > Sign in to your account > Settings > Accounts.

Step 2:Click on thePlus iconat the bottom and then selectNew account.

Step 3:Enter theemail provider’s address and add a passwordand then within a couple of minutes, Outlook willsync emails from Gmailand shows a separate account in the app.

From the same Accounts menu, you can rename Gmail as Work or Home or any other label. Another advantage of using Gmail on Outlook is the OneNote integration. You can directly send important emails from Gmail to OneNote with a single click.

Method 3: Add Gmail to Outlook on Windows App

Microsoft recently revamped all the Office apps on Windows to keep in sync with the design changes of Windows 11. We will use the redesigned Outlook app on Windows to add Gmail to it in the screenshots below.

Step 1:OpenOutlook > File > Info > Add Account.

Step 2:Add yourGmail email ID and passwordfrom the following menu.

Step 3:If you have two-factor authentication enabled for a Google account, Gmail may ask you to verify it with another code.

Step 4:Verify yourself and you will soon see Outlook importing emails from your Gmail account.

Unfortunately, there is no way to integrate Gmail emails into your Outlook account. However, Google offers a handy tool to integrate all the incoming Outlook emails into Gmail inbox and treat them as normal Gmail emails. It also gets count against your Google Drive storage.

All you can do it, go to the All Email/All Inbox option and view all emails in a single place.

Method 4: Add Gmail to Outlook on Mobile

Google has cluttered the Gmail app with Chat, Rooms, and Meet add-on and still feels dated compared to rivals out there. Outlook delivers a fresh look with multiple theming/accent options and excellent calendar function (thanks to Sunrise Calendar acquisition).

Both Outlook iOS and Android carry an identical UI. The screenshots below are from the Outlook iOS app.

Step 1:OpenOutlook > Profile icon > Settings > Add Email Account.

Step 2:Sign in using yourGmail ID/Password.
