Set Up Gmail Account In Outlook For Mac

With much difficulty importing data from Outlook 2011, I finally have Outlook 2016 v. 15.33 (170409) working (albeit slowly) on my Mac (OS Sierra v. I have a gmail web account set up in Outlook. I also have an app on my iPhone for the same gmail account, as well as occasional access via web browser on my computer, when Outlook wasn't up and running properly. However, none of the work I'm doing in Outlook specifically is syncing with my phone/webmail.

That is to say, my gmail account will receive an e-mail. If I delete the e-mail in Outlook, it does not sync the deletion across the different platforms from which I access the account. So I then have to log in to gmail on the web or my phone and delete the same e-mail again. Similarly, an e-mail filed into a folder in Outlook on the computer stays in my inbox if I log in to my webmail or check my phone.

However, if I delete an e-mail from my phone, it also deletes in Outlook. It seems as though anything I do IN Outlook is not syncing.

All that said, can you help me with a couple of the steps you suggested?

How can I tell if my set up is IMAP or POP? I assumed IMAP but looking in my settings in my mail app, I can't tell. I followed the steps in the article you linked, and had everything set up in my gmail settings and Outlook properly. The gmail account settings transferred over to 2016 from 2011 when I upgraded and imported my data. It does appear in my Gmail account on the web, IMAP is enabled.

Within the account settings in Outlook, my incoming server is imap.gmail.com and outgoing is smtp.gmail.com. Hopefully I have answered the questions and given you more information to help me figure this out. Thanks, Danielle.
