Set Up Gmail in Outlook

Google Workspace Sync on Microsoft Outlook (GWSMO) is a plugin that allows users to synchronize mail, calendar events, contacts, notes, and tasks between their new Google Account and Outlook.

To assist in adding Gmail to Outlook, follow the four steps below:

• Step 1: Download and Install GWSM
• Step 2: Sign in to Your Google Account
• Step 3: Import Your Data
• Step 4: Start Using Outlook

Step 1: Download and Install GWSMO

Installing Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GWSMO) also installs Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook (GWMMO), which lets you migrate your Outlook data to your new Google Account. Use Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook if you want to migrate your email, contact, and calendar data from Microsoft Outlook to Google Workspace.

Before you begin, please note the following:

• If you haven't already done so, sign in to your Google Account to accept Google's Terms and Conditions.
• Make sure that you download and install Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook on the computer where you use Outlook.
• Before you install Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook, make sure Outlook is closed.

Step 2: Sign in to Your Google Account

After installing Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook, you're prompted to sign in with the Google Account you use for work or school.

To sign in:

• Enter the email address for your Google Account and click Continue.
• Enter your password and click Next.
• Click Allow to provide GWSMO access to your Google Account.

Next, you can create a Google Workspace profile to import your data (optional) or skip ahead to Start using Outlook.

Step 3: Import Your Data

With Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook, you can import your Outlook data to your Google Account from the following source environments:

• an existing Outlook profile
• a Microsoft Exchange profile (if you're using Exchange)
• a PST file containing data exported from Outlook

Step 4: Start Using Outlook

After creating your Google Workspace profile in Microsoft Outlook, you can start using it.

1. In the Set Up Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook box, click Start Microsoft Outlook.
   You can do this even if your data is importing.
2. Select your Google Workspace profile.
3. (Optional) Click Options and check the Set as default profile box.

When Outlook opens your Google Workspace profile, Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GWSMO) begins synchronizing data with your Google Workspace account.
