## 5 - Get Gmail in a Desktop Email Client

Sometimes nothing beats having everything as a local application, not in your browser. The leader in the space right now is certainly Microsoft Outlook, and you CAN get your gmail inside of it!

Sounds weird right? Aren't they supposed to be different?

Microsoft Outlook (The Desktop app) actually supports almost all email types, Gmail included. If you long for a desktop client but love Gmail, you can do this on all youu devices. Just use IMAP settings, or [follow this guide](https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/add-a-gmail-account-to-outlook-70191667-9c52-4581-990e-e30318c2c081).
