Integrate Gmail in Outlook 2007

First of all why I wrote the article "Integrate Gmail in Outlook 2007", because I've been using Outlook and there are some advantages if you use Outlook.

There are more benefits when we opened the email using a mail client software such as Microsoft Outlook : Such access will be faster because we do not need to open a browser to login, with no ads and no pop-up windows browser. We can see the contents of the email that is downloaded to the cache in Outlook Express when offline. We can do a backup of the email. If Outlook Express is damaged, you can restore from the backup file. We can also move email from one computer to another by using a backup copy of data.

As I explained in previous post, Gmail (google mail) is the best free email when present, because the capacity Gmail is almost unlimited and Gmail supports POP3. POP3 function enables the user to be able to download all the email contents to the hard disk via an email client program.

The procedure we have to do is :
