I'm going to be helping a family member with some re-arranging and streamlining of their email soon. They use outlook and are very comfortable using it. I'm wanting to get them a new domain and email and run it through gmail and have it synch with outlook. I understand the best (only?) way to do this is using the imap protocol and I'm just wondering if it's possible to still keep a copy of any email on the local outlook machine as it currently does?
I like to keep the pst backed up incase something goes wrong. Will it be possible to have gmail synching with outlook whilst keeping the emails on the local machine?
The end goal is to get email available on an android handset while keeping outlook running as per normal on the main machine...
Any hints, tips, guides, comments welcome.
