Yes, Outlook 365 can collect mail from Gmail, but it requires some setup. Here are the steps:
Method 1: Using IMAP
- Enable IMAP in your Gmail account:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
- Select "See all settings."
- Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
- Enable IMAP.
- Set up Outlook 365 to connect to your Gmail account using IMAP:
- Open Outlook 365 and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Add Account."
- Select "Manual setup or additional server types."
- Choose "Internet Email" and click "Next."
- Enter your Gmail address and password.
- Select "IMAP" as the account type.
- Enter the IMAP server address:
imap.gmail.com - Enter the IMAP port:
993 - Click "Next" and then "Finish."
Method 2: Using POP
- Enable POP in your Gmail account:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
- Select "See all settings."
- Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
- Enable POP.
- Set up Outlook 365 to connect to your Gmail account using POP:
- Open Outlook 365 and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Add Account."

Note: When using POP, your emails will be downloaded from Gmail to Outlook 365, and then deleted from the Gmail server. If you want to keep a copy of the emails on the Gmail server, use IMAP instead.
Additional tips:

- If you're using a Gmail account with a custom domain, you may need to set up a custom IMAP server address and port.
- Outlook 365 may not support all Gmail features, such as labels or filters.
