Removing the settings will completely disconnect the two. @sebastian, I would go into the Outlook menu and remove the Gmail Account from the settings before moving the folder, just for added security.

Deleting the gmail portion off Outlook just removes the gmail account from Outlook, and has no impact on the gmail content Jessica,

Yes … Deleting the gmail portion off Outlook just removes the gmail account from Outlook, and has no impact on the gmail content

I have outlook at work and want to find a way to keep my few folders with personal e-mails... just wondering if this is the only way? Thanks! Hi there,

Once you have moved everything can you delete the gmail portion off of your Outlook? I have outlook at work and want to find a way to keep my few folders with personal e-mails… just wondering if this is the only way?

Thanks!

Now I have copied it there and the original is still in my Outlook personal folders. I guess it makes sense that deleting it would be telling Gmail to remove them from the web side.

You say you Moved the folder from the Outlook main folder to the Gmail folder, instead of Copying the folder? And then you Moved it back? I would try the Copy operation instead of the Move operation. Once you Moved it back out of the Gmail folder, you were telling Gmail to delete those files. Once you've copied everything you want to from Outlook, then there is no need to use Outlook again. You can switch computers, or whatever. A puzzle to me, Jim. You say you Moved the folder from the Outlook main folder to the Gmail folder, instead of Copying the folder? And then you Moved it back?

Once you’ve copied everything you want to from Outlook, then there is no need to use Outlook again. You can switch computers, or whatever.

I was amazed to see that folder show up on Gmail! Easy! But when I moved the folder back to my regular Outlook personal folders, the folder disapeared on Gmail. So I'm wondering... if it only stays there as long as it's in that spot on Outlook, what if I no longer have Outlook? Is there a way to permanently copy the folder into Gmail so that even if I switch computers and lose Outlook, the emails will still be there? Or am I missing something here?
