If we have to think about today ‘s main email applications , there is no doubt that the most widely used is Gmail , Google’s alternative, partly because it is installed by default on Android mobile devices.

Beyond that, we have to say that the simplicity of opening accounts in Gmail does not prevent some users from encountering problems when trying to configure their profiles , and that is why, below, we want to show you the steps you must follow in these situations.

Therefore, if you want to know quickly how you can configure the Gmail app on both iOS and Android mobile devices , all you have to do is keep reading, so as not to miss any details.

Before going into the details, we want to talk about some words that usually appear to users in these cases, often confusing them, so that you know what these specific concepts are about:

• POP3 or POP: this is an updated version of POP, a server thanks to which we can create local copies of email messages by deleting the originals from the system. One of its advantages is that the system works independently of the capacity occupied in the inbox.
• IMAP: unlike the previous case, this time it will be possible to synchronize mail files that are on the server with several computers at the same time, although the originals remain available. If we open the mail on a server, yes, it will appear read on all of them.
• Exchange: this server has some similarities with the previous one, except that it allows you to synchronize contacts and the calendar , something impossible in the other cases. Do not forget that in order to use it, you must have a server that is compatible with the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.

Gmail from Outlook web

One of the most popular free emails on the internet is undoubtedly Google’s Gmail. After all, anyone with an Android device has a Google account. However, despite the fact that many people have an account with said service, they prefer to have everything from Outlook Web.

For this reason, we are also going to see in this article how to add and configure a Gmail account in Outlook Web so that in this way you can manage your Gmail mail without having to enter the Google website.

The good thing is that this process is very simple and it will not take you long to have everything correctly configured. In addition, you can have everything organized in the same way that you have it in your Gmail account. So without much more to say, let’s see how to configure Gmail in Outlook .

How to Set Up Gmail in Outlook Web Quick and Easy

Configure Gmail in Outlook web

Obviously the first thing we must do is enter the official Outlook website . Once you have entered your Outlook account, what you should do is click on the configuration gear that appears at the top and then you will go to the option that says “Connected accounts “.

In this section you can connect the accounts of other emails in a simple way. Note that ” Add a connected account ” appears at first glance here, all you have to do is press the Gmail icon precisely and a new window will open with several options to connect to said account.

Connect Gmail account in Outlook web

Now what you have to do is configure the import of your Gmail account . Here you can already choose a wide variety of options.

From using Outlook to receive all Gmail emails and even send them from your Gmail account or creating a specific account just to send emails.

You can create folders and subfolders to emulate everything as you had in your Google account or even mix the folders with the ones you have in Outlook, merge them, etc.

If you want to make everything more comfortable , it is best to choose the first option that says: “ Connect your Google account so we can import your Gmail email. You will also be able to send email from Outlook with your Gmail address ”.

In the case of the second option you must also choose the first one that says: “ Create a new folder for the imported email with subfolders, like in Gmail ”.

The process will start immediately and will not take too long, it is just a matter of having a little patience.

What we are going to see next is how to use Outlook and Hotmail on the Gmail web . In this way you will be able to read all the emails that arrive to the accounts mentioned above, but on the Gmail website.

How to sync Microsoft accounts in Gmail

For many people, the Gmail website is much more friendly. That is why they like to use the Google service so much. Although on some occasions we have accounts created in the Microsoft service that we need to use no matter what.

Do not worry because there is a way to synchronize these accounts to be able to use them as if it were a Gmail account.

For that you must follow this step by step, so that in a few minutes you can be using the accounts you have in Microsoft, but in Google’s Gmail.

How to Use Outlook and Hotmail on Gmail Web

The first thing you should do is go to the Gmail account, once you are on the page you have to click on the settings icon. You will realize which one it is since it is shaped like a gear.

When you do, a drop-down menu will open with a few options. You must click where it says Configuration.

Now it directs us to a new page that has quite a few options. You must go to the tab that says ” Accounts and import ” and then go to where it says ” Import mail and contacts ” in order to add the account we want.

As soon as you click on this option, a pop-up window opens where you will be asked for a series of data . It is quite intuitive since it details what you need at all times.

Step one is to put your email account either Outlook or Hotmail . Then click continue.

The following is a text that is not very important, here simply click on continue to continue with the process .

What happens now is that a new pop-up window opens where Microsoft asks you if you want to synchronize your email in Gmail . All you have to do is click on “ Yes ”.

Once it finishes loading and says ” Authentication successful ” you must press the ” X ” above to close the window.

After closing this window, where we were, it begins to carry out another process. Here it will ask us if we want to import: contacts, mail and new mail from the next 30 days. We leave everything checked and click on “ Start import ”.

Now you get a message that says “ Your messages and contacts are being imported .” And that would be all. The process is not too fast to say, it will depend on a few factors. So you must be patient and wait for it to finish.

Now you will be able to use your Outlook or Hotmail accounts on the Gmail website without any kind of problem with all the comforts that the Google service offers you.
