Integrating Outlook and Exchange with Google Workspace

You can use Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GWSMO) to let your users manage their Google Workspace email, calendar events, contacts, notes, and tasks in Outlook. For details, go to About Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook.

Your users can access their Gmail messages in Outlook using the IMAP protocol. For details, go to Set up Gmail with a third-party email client.

If your users want to continue using their Exchange calendar, they can manage their meetings and events in Exchange using Calendar Interop. Calendar Interop syncs the free/busy status of users in Google Calendar and Exchange so everyone can view each other's availability information. Google Calendar users can also book Exchange calendar resources, such as meeting rooms, when they schedule a meeting.

For details, go to About Calendar Interop.

With dual delivery, users receive their email in 2 inboxes. For example, you could set up dual delivery to deliver mail to an Exchange inbox and a Gmail inbox. Dual delivery can help you try out Gmail with your organization before moving all users and data to Google Workspace.

For details, go to Email routing and delivery options for Google Workspace.
