How to set up Outlook and Hotmail on the Gmail Web

Today we'll show you how to sync your Outlook or Hotmail email in Gmail. This way, you can read emails that reach your Microsoft accounts and type using those addresses from the Google Mail client. The process is quite simple, and it shouldn't take you more than five minutes.

Before you start, to make it easier for later processes, first log in to your Outlook and Hotmail account and login to be logged in. Then open another tab in your browser and log into your Gmail account, where you'll need to do all the steps in the process.

When you're inside your Gmail account, click the toothed wheel icon at the top right (1), and from the drop-down menu, click Settings (2) to enter the menu where you can set up your email.

Once you are in the configuration, the first thing you have to do is go to the section bar above and click on Accounts and import (1). Then, in the options that will appear when you do it click on Import mail and contacts which is the option to add accounts through POP3.

Clicking on this option will open a pop-up window in which you will be guided through the process to add a new account. The first thing you have to do is type in your Outlook or Hotmail account that you want to add and click the Continue button.

Then, in the window you will see the text you have in the screenshot above. Don't worry if the text seems a little confusing, all you have to do now is click on the Continue button. If you don't see it, maximize the window, because it's small, the buttons may not be visible.

A second pop-up window will open asking you if you want to sync your emails, contacts, calendars, and various other Microsoft items in Gmail. In this window, just click Yes to accept the import of your Outlook or Hotmail account into Gmail.

Wait a few seconds after pressing the Yes button, and you will see a message saying To continue close this window. Listen to it and press the close window button at the top right, but leave the pop-up window in which the main process is taking place open.

After closing the other window, in which the main process is being carried out, you will access the second step of the process. You can select whether you want to import contacts, emails you already have or new emails. Choose all 3 to use Hotmail in full in Gmail, and then click the Start Import button.

And that's it, once you've completed the process, your emails will be imported from Microsoft into Gmail. You'll also automatically be added the ability to send messages from your Outlook or Hotmail via Google Mail. All you have to do now is wait a few hours for the import process to finish
