We show you how to set this up using Gmail because it is free
, it's in widespread use and it synchronizes absolutely quite simply with Outlook. Hotmail and Yahoo do not offer IMAP but you could still synchronize your email from these addresses using this system.
By using this method you'll be able to leave your existing email account active in Outlook for a little bit so in effect you'll get your email twice - this really is just to show you that it works and that you are still receiving all your emails - we show you how you can turn off the old account when you are ready. It may sound like double handling but so many people are nervous of playing around with their email setup so this gives them the belief to try it and see how easy it really is!
