Hello.

I dislike using Outlook for work (actually for anything) and want to export all Outlook messages into Gmail. I have set up a POP3-or-LDAP-link (I can't remember which) so that I can see my gmail messages from within outlook and I can manually drag messages from my Outlook inbox into my Gmail account. But what I can't seem to do is to automatically fetch the outlook messages into Gmail (and so I spend a good 10 minutes every day downloading a bunch of outlook messages).

Most of the online help I have read explains how to fetch gmail messages into Outlook (which is as useful to me as a philosopher's stone that turns gold into lead).

Can someone help explain how I can auto-export Outlook into Gmail?

Thanks,
Bryan

Do you have Exchange?

You would need to set up an AD contact in AD and have Exchange auto forward email to Gmail.

You should check your company's rules about email redirection as you may be in violation of the company's policies, state aor federal laws if you do so however.

You're probably in violation of a company policy at the very least for forwarding company email to an outside source. You could also bring the wrath of the government down on your company, in which case you might find yourself in jail.

If I were you, I would check with the system administrator, or even your BOSS, to find out IF what you're doing is (1) OK to do and (2) if OK to do, how to do it correctly.
