Setting up Outlook 2007 with Gmail?

Question

I want to start using the Xobni plugin for Outlook, but all of my email is set through Gmail, and I don't know how to setup Outlook in general (i've always avoided learning how because i never really needed/wanted to know until I heard about Xobni). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Go into Gmail and click on the "Settings" link at the top right of the page.  Then click on "Forwarding and POP/IMAP".

Make sure that you have selected "Enable IMAP" and click "Save Settings".  

Go back into the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" page and click on the "Configuration Instructions" link.  This will walk you through the process of setting up Outlook to access you Gmail account.
