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.
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?
