How to View Gmail (or Any Other Website) in Outlook
Tested in versions 2007/2010
I used this Outlook workaround so that I could view my gmail email messages in Outlook.
The traditional method involves adding gmail as an account within Outlook. There is one problem, however. My gmail account is one of my catch-all accounts, and it contains a lot of email messages. I didn't want it to hog all of my Outlook resources.
Here's a workaround that enables me to view gmail messages while I'm in Outlook.
Create a new folder by right-clicking on any mail folder and selecting new folder.
Name the new folder.
Once you've created the folder, change its properties. Right-click the new folder's name, and select properties.
When the properties box pops up, click the Home Page tab. Put a check mark next to Show home page, and type the address of the web page under the section called Address.
Going forward, when you click on the folder's name, Outlook will automatically open the gmail web site. You can use this method to open any web page within Outlook.
