I wrote MacStories’ tutorial on how to integrate Gmail with Outlook for Mac 2011 back in 2010. There’s been quite a few updates since then, and Microsoft has fixed many of the issues I mentioned in the original guide. Too, Gmail itself has been visually updated to reflect Google’s latest design trends. Even the screenshots were dated.
Instead of producing a separate article, I thought it would be best to keep the same URL so that people revisiting the tutorial would immediately see what’s new. Most of it has been completely rewritten and updated with the latest information on how to get the most out of Outlook with your Gmail account. I’ve substantially streamlined the article, cutting out filler such as the introduction and extended outro.
The new how-to is divided into two major sections, one of which is completely optional. You can read the updated guide by clicking the link below.
