Hii

Currently I have two email accounts one at Gmail and another at my workplace. I route the email from my workplace so that everything arrives at Gmail. However because I frequently send and receive large files, my gmail account is rapidly filling up. I was thinking of downloading one copy of the email that comes to Gmail and to my work email, on my hard drive using microsoft outlook 2010. I have the professional plus version.

So I was wondering if there is a way to download the email coming from gmail and my work email onto my hard drive and store it somewhere using outlook as a background service. I don’t want to be continuously opening outlook for the mail to arrive on my computer or getting distracted by emails popping up on my computer. I can then create the necessary labels/folders and let it be. Then I can delete the large files on Gmail without having to worry that I might need that in future.

If there is any other free software that can do this that would be great too.

Thanks

Kartik
