The only problem with the POP3 approach is that Gmail cannot synchronize with Outlook so there’s lot of duplicate work.įor instance, if you download your emails from Gmail to Microsoft Outlook and mark them as read, the messages will still show a status of “Unread” in your Gmail Inbox.


Gmail does provide POP3 access so you can easily read your Gmail messages offline in Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or any other email client.
