How to sync Office 365 Mail with Gmail

When integrating Office 365 Mail with Gmail, we suggest creating sync pairs like this:

Office365 Mail/Folders/folder_x <-> Gmail/label_x
Office365 Mail/Folders/folder_y <-> Gmail/label_y
...

The above will sync each individual Office 365 Mail folder with a corresponding Gmail label. For example, the Office 365 Mail folder “folder_x” will be synced with Gmail label “label_x,” and so on.

The other approach is to sync all your Office 365 Mail folders with a dedicated Gmail label. In that case, you will need to create a sync pair to sync a virtual folder named “Folders” with a label in Gmail (i.e., we can call the label Office365_mail_folders_in_gmail). This will give you sync pair that looks like this:

Office365 Mail/Folders <-> Gmail/Office365_mail_folders_in_gmail

 

Here are short instructions on how to set up synchronization between Office 365 Mail and a Gmail label:

  1. Start the synchronization wizard to sync two cloud accounts.
  2. Click the Office 365 Mail icon:
