Reply Todd Says: June 16, 2011 at 12:14 am A simple workaround for send email from inside Outlook using your gmail account (so that your imap sent folder is available on other computers / phone) is simply to change the replyto portion of your account gmail account settings in Outlook. In the replyto put the non-gmail account address (but you will still be using your gmail account to actually send the email…) Hope this helps Reply Here are comments I wanted to transfer over from my wordpress.com blog – thought they were interesting

Michael,
I believe the settings are supposed to be 993/587. I noticed when first setting it up, I had to go back to the advanced tab and reset these numbers 2 or 3 times to get them to ‘stick’. Here are instructions from the ‘How To Geek’, if you need them. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/use-gmail-imap-in-microsoft-outlook-2007/

Good luck
