Microsoft’s Outlook 2010 provides a very rich set of e-mail management tools to help you better manage your emails with a cool user interface. If you have a GMail account, then configuring the account with Microsoft Outlook 2010 is a piece-of-cake.

In the next step, select Email Account, enter Your Name, Email Address, and Password and click Next.

Now sit back and relax, Outlook 2010 will do the rest for you, it will establish connection to the relevant network, search for GMail server settings and log you on to the server automatically.

how/where did you get a copy of office 2010?
There are torrents all over the net, which are deemed illegal.
But there are a select few that Microsoft selected to beta test the product.
You can download the Beta version from the following link

Account settings is residing in a very mysterious place

Something odd with POP3 accounts seems to be going on. Configration settings in Outlook 2007 not working in 2010. First account (Sympatico) works fine but three subsequent accounts (for my website) not working. ???
