When setting up your Google Apps \/ Gmail account as your email program on outlook, many people make the mistake of using the Outlook wizard to add the account. \u00a0Whilst this will add your Gmail business email to your outlook it will miss the exchange like functionality of syncing your Google CHalendar, Google Tasks and Google Contacts. \u00a0In this article we are going to look at setting up Gmail using Google Apps Sync for Outlook. \u00a0This will only work for paid Google Apps for Business accounts and not the free gmail version.<\/p>\n
