How to add Gmail folder All Mail in Outlook

  • In Outlook, click on the “Folder” tab at the top. Then you will see “IMAP Folders”
  • Hit the “Query” button
  • Click on the [Gmail]/All Mail and unsubscribe and then hit query and then subscribe again.
  • Gmail/All Mail is selected.  Then click on OK.
  • In Outlook, expand the folders under the [Gmail}. Right click on the [Gmail} and select “New Folder” (see image below)
  • Name it “All Mail”
  • Hit send/receive and email will start downloading to Outlook.

Hopefully this helps someone out there like it did me!

P.S. after doing this it can take several minutes (15+) before you will start to see sync progress due to the normal size of this folder and contents.
