如果您运行的是Windows 10,您可能会很高兴知道现在有一种使用内置商店应用程序(store apps)而不是Outlook来查看您的(Outlook)Google 电子邮件(Google email)、联系人和日历的简单而优雅的方式。
Outlook对于企业员工来说是一个很棒的电子邮件客户端,但对于我的个人电子邮件,我并不喜欢它。但是,在Windows 10之前,除了使用(Windows 10)Outlook或在(Outlook)Chrome中一直打开一个选项卡来接收电子邮件之外,我别无选择。
新的邮件(Mail)、日历和人(Calendar and People)脉应用都可以分别与Gmail、谷歌日历和谷歌联系人(Google Calendar and Google contacts)同步。然而,对我来说最好的部分是这些应用程序看起来非常漂亮,我真的很喜欢使用它们。在本文中,我将向您展示如何快速轻松地将您的Google 帐户与(Google account)Windows 10同步。
在 Windows 10 邮件应用程序中设置 Gmail
首先,让我们先设置邮件应用程序(Mail app)。Windows 10中的三个应用程序的伟大之处在于它们都是集成的。将Google 帐户(Google account)添加到一个应用程序后,它也会自动添加到其他两个应用程序。此外,每个应用程序在侧边栏中都有指向其他应用程序的链接,因此在应用程序之间切换非常容易。
要打开邮件应用程序(Mail app),只需单击开始并(Start and type)输入邮件(Mail)。最高的结果应该是Mail – Trusted Microsoft Store app。
邮件应用程序(Mail app)分为三个部分:左侧是侧边栏,您将在其中看到您的电子邮件帐户和文件夹列表,中间是该文件夹中所有电子邮件的简短描述,右侧窗格将显示完整的个人电子邮件。
单击左侧边栏中的帐户(Accounts),然后单击出现的右侧面板中的添加帐户(Add account)。将出现一个弹出对话框,您可以在其中选择您的电子邮件服务提供商(email service provider)。
您可以添加Outlook.com 帐户(Outlook.com account)、Exchange 帐户(Exchange account)、Yahoo 电子邮件(Yahoo email)、iCloud 电子邮件或任何其他支持POP 或 IMAP(POP or IMAP)的电子邮件帐户(email account)。在我们的例子中,我们将选择Google。继续输入您的Google凭据,然后单击允许(Allow)让Windows 访问(Windows access)您的电子邮件、日历和联系人。
如果一切顺利,您应该会收到一条成功消息,表明(message indicating)该帐户已添加到Windows中。
现在,您的Gmail 收件箱(Gmail inbox)中的所有电子邮件都应显示在Mail 应用程序(Mail app)中。您会注意到,默认情况下,邮件应用程序(Mail app)仅向您显示收件箱(Inbox)文件夹,仅此而已。
那么,如果您有一大堆Gmail标签怎么办?好吧(Well),继续点击更多(More)链接,它会加载所有其余的Gmail标签,这些标签基本上是邮件应用程序(Mail app)中的文件夹。但是,一旦您单击它,面板就会消失,因此如果您一直需要访问多个标签,最好右键单击并选择Add to Favorites。这些标签现在将显示在收件箱文件夹(Inbox folder)下,并且可以随时访问。
默认情况下,邮件应用(Mail app)仅下载最近 3 个月的电子邮件。如果你想改变它,你需要进入设置。如果左侧边栏(left sidebar)尚未展开,您可以通过单击左上角的三个水平线来展开它。然后,单击侧边栏右下角的齿轮图标。
在最右侧,将出现一个滑入式面板,您可以在其中调整Mail 应用程序(Mail app)的各种设置。在顶部,您要点击Manage accounts。
接下来,单击要调整设置的电子邮件帐户。(email account)在我们的例子中,它用于Gmail 帐户(Gmail account)。
单击(Click)帐户,将出现一个对话框,您可以在其中更改电子邮件帐户(email account)的名称、删除它或更改邮箱同步设置。
单击该选项将加载Gmail 同步(Gmail sync)设置对话框。在这里,您可以选择何时下载新电子邮件以及是否下载完整的邮件和 Internet 图像(message and Internet images)。
在此之下,您可以更改同步您的联系人和日历的频率以及您希望从多远的位置下载电子邮件。过去 3 个月的唯一其他选项是Any time,无论日期如何,它都会下载所有电子邮件。
最后,您可以根据需要单独关闭电子邮件、日历或联系人(calendar or contacts)。值得注意的是,您也可以在日历和联系人(Calendar and Contacts)应用程序中以完全相同的方式调整这些设置。
(Sync Google)将 Google与日历和人员应用程序(Calendar and People Apps)同步
现在您已在Windows 10中设置了邮件应用程序(Mail app),您只需打开日历和人员(Calendar and People)应用程序即可查看您的Google日历和Google联系人。
默认情况下,应检查所有日历,但您展开Gmail并手动选择或取消选择要查看的日历。现在打开People 应用程序(People app),您会看到它与其他两个应用程序非常相似。微软在使它们都具有相同的(Microsoft)外观和感觉(look and feel)方面做得很好。
这就是将我们的Google 电子邮件(Google email)、联系人和日历与Windows 10同步的全部内容。到目前为止,这是一次愉快的体验,希望Microsoft不断更新应用程序以使它们变得更好。享受!
How to Setup Gmail in Windows 10
If you’re running Windows 10, yoυ might be happy to know that there iѕ now a simple and elegant way to view yoυr Google email, contacts and calendar using built-in store apps rather thаn υsing Outlook.
Outlook is a great email client for corporate employees, but I’m not a big fan of it for my personal email. However, before Windows 10, I had no other option other than using Outlook or keeping one tab open in Chrome all the time for my email.
The new Mail, Calendar and People apps can all be synced with Gmail, Google Calendar and Google contacts, respectively. The best part for me, however, is that the apps look really slick and I actually like using them. In this article, I’ll show you how to quickly and easily get your Google account synced with Windows 10.
Setup Gmail in Windows 10 Mail App
To get started, let’s setup the Mail app first. The great thing about the three apps in Windows 10 is that they are all integrated. Once you add your Google account to the one app, it will automatically be added to the other two apps too. In addition, each app has links to the other apps in the sidebar, so it’s super easy to switch between the apps.
To open the Mail app, just click on Start and type in Mail. The top result should be Mail – Trusted Microsoft Store app.
The Mail app is split into three sections: on the left is the sidebar where you will see your list of email accounts and folders, the middle is where a short description of the all the emails in that folder will appear and the right pane will show the full individual email.
Click on Accounts in the left sidebar and then click on Add account in the right panel that appears. A popup dialog will appear where you can choose your email service provider.
You can add an Outlook.com account, Exchange account, Yahoo email, iCloud email or any other POP or IMAP enabled email account. In our case, we will select Google. Go ahead and enter your Google credentials and click Allow to let Windows access your email, calendars and contacts.
If all went well, you should get a successful message indicating that the account has been added to Windows.
All of the email from your Gmail inbox should now show up inside the Mail app. You’ll notice that by default, the Mail app only shows you the Inbox folder and that’s it.
So what if you have a whole bunch of Gmail labels? Well, go ahead and click on the More link and it’ll load up all the rest of your Gmail labels, which are basically folders in the Mail app. However, the panel disappears once you click off of it, so if you need access to several labels all the time, it’s a good idea to right-click and choose Add to Favorites. These labels will now show up under the Inbox folder and can be accessed all the time.
By default, the Mail app only downloads email from the last 3 months. If you want to change that, you need to go into settings. If the left sidebar is not already expanded, you can expand it by clicking on the three horizontal lines at the top left. Then, click on the gear icon at the bottom right of the sidebar.
At the far right, a slide-in panel will appear where you can adjust various settings for the Mail app. At the top, you want to click on Manage accounts.
Next, click on the email account you want to adjust settings for. In our case, it’s for the Gmail account.
Click on the account and a dialog will appear where you can change the name of the email account, delete it or change the mailbox sync settings.
Clicking that option will load the Gmail sync settings dialog. Here you can choose when new email should be downloaded and whether to download the full message and Internet images.
Below that, you can change how often to sync your contacts and calendars and how far back you want to download email from. The only other option past 3 months is Any time, which will download all email regardless of date.
Lastly, you can turn off email, calendar or contacts individually if you like. It’s worth noting that you can adjust these settings in exactly the same way in the Calendar and Contacts apps too.
Sync Google with Calendar and People Apps
Now that you have your Mail app setup in Windows 10, all you have to do is open the Calendar and People apps to see your Google calendars and Google contacts.
By default, all calendars should be checked, but you expand out Gmail and manually select or deselect the calendars you want to view. Now open the People app and you’ll see it looks very similar to the other two apps. Microsoft did a good job of making them all have the same look and feel.
That’s all there is to syncing our Google email, contacts and calendar with Windows 10. It’s so far been an enjoyable experience and hopefully Microsoft keeps updating the apps to make them better. Enjoy!
