Method 3: Using a third-party app

Tips and considerations

• Make sure you have the latest versions of Outlook and Gmail installed on your Mac.
• If you're using Method 1 (IMAP), you may need to configure your Gmail account to allow less secure apps to access your account.
• If you're using Method 2 (Exchange), you'll need to ensure that your organization's Exchange server is configured to allow access to your account.
• If you're using a third-party app, be sure to read reviews and understand the app's features and limitations before installing.
