Is there a way i could reuse old pst file, without having to download all emails of 3gb size?
Thanks, Grr
Waiting for a response from Avi.
Sorry for being late in replying.
As far as I know, its possible to do. But I need to recreate it on my own outlook to answer it perfectly.
btw, when you replace the pst file? after configuring all the emails or before that.
Hopefully I will be answering you tonight.
ok, np
I configured gmail again, and once the connection was established & confirmed, I closed outlook. Then i replaced the pst file.
Just use a setting inside Gmail to "Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on" and it will download only the new mails.Quote:

POP will not sync read mails.
If i read an email on gmail, it will still show as unread in outlook, and vice-versa.
So went for IMAP

No, not possible. That is how it works.
I had researched before I went for outlook/IMAP:
There are two ways your devices and clients can communicate with Gmail:
1. A one-way communication path (POP). Your device asks us for data and pulls it from our servers -- but that's it. Things you do on your device have no effect on the server. If you read a message on your phone, then log in to Gmail, you will see that same message marked as unread. It may start to feel like Groundhog Day.
2. A two-way communication path (IMAP). Unlike with POP, your devices talk back to our servers and sync your changes automatically with IMAP. When you sign in to your Gmail account in a web browser, actions you've taken on your email client or mobile device (like putting a message in a 'work' folder) will also appear in Gmail (your message will already have a 'work' label on it). This all happens automatically once you set up IMAP, so you don't have to read or sort all your mail twice. This is really helpful when accessing Gmail from multiple devices.

@Grr, Looks like its not possible.
More Info hereQuote:
You can't deliver imap mail to pst of your choosing, it needs to deliver to its own pst file. If you moved computers or created a new profile, you can't make an imap account use an old pst
PLEASE HELP: reconnect existing PST file to imap account
OR
Perhaps it is possible. I am not sure as I am not using IMAP for my account.
Just checkout the link below and report here if it works.
